To elaborate a bit more – I’m worried that creating a new data value type, instead of using either of the suitable existing data value types (`string` or `wikibase-entityid`), will actually create //more// work for tool developers. It’s much rarer for us to create new data value types than new data types – I think this 2015 snapshot <https://web.archive.org/web/20150205030035/http://www.wikidata.org:80/wiki/Special:ListDatatypes> of Special:ListDatatypes already contains all the data value types we have today (string, entity ID, globe coordinate, monolingual text, quantity, time). And I think the comments by @Pintoch and @Tpt in the on-wiki discussion <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Schemas#New_EntitySchema_data_type_is_ready_for_testing_on_Test_Wikidata> support this as well.
