[topicmapmail] PSIs?

To me, using identifiers for datatypes that reference the formal W3C
definitions of these datatypes makes more sense than inventing separate
PSIs. (I'm also thinking about how we should reference these datatypes
within Part 5 of the forthcoming DSDL spec, of which I am the editor, so I
have a specific use for whatever PSIs we end up in mind. Referring to the
W3C addresses makes more sense in an ISO standard than does referencing PSIs
originating from a non-standards body.)
