Humm.. I put two different versions of foaf:name, i.e. (1)two elements with
xml:lang, for some friends; and (2)two language name representations
combined into one element, for others; in my foaf file. Developpers may be
interested in comparing which would work better with their applications.
(see signature for foaf location).

Yes, I found the document at
http://www.wasab.dk/morten/2003/04/foaf-names-proposal-1.html
It is quite interesting, and I applied it to my foaf:Person element as an
experiment. See what happens.


...well, I'd like to find a way to persuade parsers that <foaf:name> is not
an rdfs:Literal in some cases even though schema says it is (or, to ignore
rdf:Alt and think one of the values of rdf:li as that of foaf:name).

However, bellow does not seem work as an RDF...
