This would also be interesting, but is at the instance-data level,
ie. we're talking slightly cross purposes. When I talk about reflecting
from XML into RDF, I meant the constructs defined in the XML datatype
spec (facets etc) not particular application schemas or data valid by
those schemas.

At the W3C spec level, RDF deferred datatyping issues so they could be
dealt with once and for all across all XML apps by XML Schema. Now we
(more or less) have this, it is natural to explore a mapping of the
concepts defined in XML datatypes spec into RDF data graphs. Once some
mapping has been established, applications should be able to go both
ways, ie. first we reflect the XML datatype machinery into an
RDF-processsable representation, _then_ we can (hopefully) reflect
datatyped XML information into RDF and vice-versa.
