> It is possible to create typed literal from the Node class by calling Node
> createLiteral(String lex, String lang, RDFDatatype dtype). However, as stated
> in the documentation (c.f.
> http://openjena.org/how-to/typedLiterals.html#lang) "Thus for almost all
> typed literals there is no xml:Lang tag". It would be nice to provide a Node
> createLiteral(String lex, RDFDatatype dtype) method that delegates the call
> to Node createLiteral(String lex, String lang, RDFDatatype dtype) with the
> right value for the lang parameter. Indeed, when I use the existing method to
> create typed literal without lang tag, I put null for the lang parameter and
> it works but I don't know if it is the right value (in the jena source code
> it seems that an empty String is used) and whether it can break something
> (the documentation give no information). Moreover it is really annoying to
> have to specify the useless lang parameter when we don't need it.
