XHTML 2.0 says:

        "datatype = QName
    This attribute defines the datatype of the 
        content metadata of the element. If the attribute 
        is not specified, then the default value is string 
        as defined by [XMLSCHEMA]."
        
Would there be any troubles to make the default namespace for this value the 
XML Schema namespace. The benefit will be to be able to write.

        <meta about="http://www.example.com/"; 
          datatype="date"
      property="dc:created">2004-03-20</meta>

Then when another datatype is being used, which is not part of XML Schema, 
authors, developers will have to use a QName. but at list they will get a 
simple way of writing many datatypes.
