Ordered - RDF Working Group Wiki

RDF-WG is thinking of downplaying containers (Bag, Alt Seq).  Seq in 
particular is causing some debate.

1/ People don't want existing data/systems labelled as using 
"deprecated" or "archaic" features.  Bad marketing.

2/ Lists are still hard to use so aren't a complete replacement for Seqs.

http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/Ordered

A lot of the debate is quite technical .. and wanders much further afield.

If you have a view (and you are not employed by a W3C member already on 
the WG because your views should go via that route), please let this 
list know.

Not having a view is quite alright.  The vocabulary isn't going way - 
it's how it's positioned that may change.

The RDF-WG is not chartered to make a real change, like putting 
structure literals in as first-class elements of the RDF data model.
