    Hi all,<br>
    I just saw the presentation by Milan using NIF.<br>
    <br>
    "&lt;#char0,10&gt;<br>
       nif:beginIndex "0" ^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger ;<br>
       nif:endIndex "10" ^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger ."<br>
    <br>
    has 109 bytes in unicode, where 2*25 bytes are used by the
    datatype....<br>
    <br>
    Now I am thinking about dropping this, but I am not sure if there
    are negative side effects, e.g. missing database optimizations<br>
    <br>
    all the best,<br>
    Sebastian<br>
