The current proposal for plain literals is:

That said, this issue has not been fully resolved, so debate at will :)
My preference is for plain literals to simply be the default. i.e.
<title property="dc:title">RDF or Bust</title>
should represent
<> dc:title "RDF or Bust" .
and additionally
<title property="dc:title" xml:lang="en-GB">RDF or Bust</title>
should represent
<> dc:title "RDF or Bust"@en-GB .
If explicit typing is required then the author should include a datatype
attribute. The value of the literal should be identical to the
string-value as defined in XPath:

Yes, that doesn't cater for the <sup>2</sup> argument, but the author is
presumably in control of their markup and can add the appropriate
datatype attribute. They understand their content much better than we
ever will.
