The spec is clear, yes…. but an object is not the same thing as the

feel this axiom of the W3C falls down…

Clearly there is a problem here. But we should be careful to
distinguish confusedly designed frameworks from confused documentation
of well-designed ones. (04)
While RDF specifications, for example, are relatively clear and sound,
the RDF primer provides an abundance of examples such as: (05)
ex:index.html exterms:creation-date "August 16, 1999" .
ex:index.html dc:language "en" . (06)
supposed to state that "August 16, 1999" is the creation date of a page
and "en" is he language of a page, while both are literal strings and
*not* identifiers for a date and a language, respectively. But from
this apparently confused example one should not infer that RDF itself is
confused (in this respect). (07)
(This is not to say that RDF is not confused.) (08)
