Physikerwelt added a comment. I had a look at Ethanol and found C2H6O, Photosynthesis also had chemical formulae but no info boxes. The intention of the ce tag and alos of this new datatype is to introduce more semantics. With the extra information that C is part of a chemical formula it is clear that C stands for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon which is not clear if that's just a string data type.
The advantage of a data type vs. a property is that a service can enhance the input data with additional information and which can thereafter be used by third party services. Moreover, I do not get the point about the datatypes that are really needed. Can you provide a like that justifies the mulitlingual text for example?
