One slight issue might be that the SWBP document references "RDF Semantics" referring to the 2004 standard, which differs in critical ways from what we will be saying (especially with regard to plain literals values.) If all these references are normative, we will have a normative chain of reference from our specs to the 2004 specs. I guess we will have to work around this using careful and often rather tedious prose.

First of all, just to be pedantic, the SWBP document is a Note, ie, there is no normative chain here. However, I think it is worth adding a "footnote" (whatever this means here, probably a parenthetical remark in the text) drawing attention to this.

But my question is: are the statements in the SWBP document still valid with XSD 1.1? I had a very cursory look, and I did not see any problem, but it is worth checking (and I am at a conference, ie, I did not have the time to look at this thoroughly)
