Resolutions
  1. Mark xs:string as archaic for use in RDF, recommending use of plain literals instead. Recommend that systems silently convert xs:string data to plain literals. link
  2. close ISSUE-18 by requiring digits after the decimal point, as in "18.0" link
  3. Allow dots inside local part and namespace part of qnames in Turtle, aligning with SPARQL syntax link
  4. (1) Incubate on something like JSON-LD, (2) make a REC on something like Talis RDF/JSON, and (3) make a Note on current practice stuff like Linked Data API. link
