Difference in treatment of elements with XML content

[Peter Mika]

Hi All,
I see a difference in the way Ivan's RDFa Distiller and Fabien's XSLT 
treat the following case:

<p about="#i" instanceof="foaf:Person">
Mitt navn er <span property="foaf:name" content="Steinar Skagemo"><span
property="foaf:givenName">Steinar</span> <span
property="foaf:familyName">Skagemo</span></span>.
Min hjemmeside er <a rel="foaf:homepage" href="http://www.skagemo.no/";>Steinar
Skagemo - kort oppsummering</a>.
</p>

In the case of the RDFa Distiller the result is:

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.skagemo.no/page/steinar.html#i";>
       <foaf:givenName>Steinar</foaf:givenName>
       <foaf:familyName>Skagemo</foaf:familyName>
       <foaf:name>Steinar Skagemo</foaf:name>
        ...
 </rdf:Description>

In the case of Fabien's XSLT, the result is:

  <rdf:Description rdf:about="#i">
     <foaf:name xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/";
                
rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#XMLLiteral";
                rdf:parseType="Literal">
        <span xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#";
              xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
              property="foaf:givenName">Steinar</span> 
        <span xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#";
              xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
              property="foaf:familyName">Skagemo</span>
     </foaf:name>
  </rdf:Description>
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="#i">
     <foaf:givenName 
xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/";>Steinar</foaf:givenName>
  </rdf:Description>
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="#i">
     <foaf:familyName 
xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/";>Skagemo</foaf:familyName>
  </rdf:Description>
  ...

As differences in output usually point to differences in interpretation of the 
spec, I looked at the relevant Section 5.5, Step 10.
Indeed, it is not very clear on the precedence (if there is) on whether to see 
this as a Plain Literal or XML Literal.

Thanks,
Peter
