Joe,

Nothing is changing with value types in Core and XMLLiteral is still there 
with this issue #25

This issue (25) is narrowly focused on 2 XML elements (dcterms:title and 
dcterms:description) within the UIPreview spec's definition of 
oslc:Compact, the fact that they are string value types.  This does NOT 
change the Core's recommendation for RDF properties dcterms:title and 
dcterms:description and their value type.

Does that clear it up?

Thanks,
