Sorry, should have said
"calendar<http://userguide.icu-project.org/datetime/calendar>"
instead of "date", and "i18n support" instead of "Unicode support".
 Specifically, support for Hijry (Islamic) calendar data (
http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4j/com/ibm/icu/util/IslamicCalendar.html),
not to mention e.g. the traditional Japanese
calendar<http://www.artelino.com/articles/japanese_calendar.asp>based
on Emperors (e.g Showa 27; they actually do still use it).  I rashly
assume an RDF database project doesn't have the resources to implement the
full range of such i18n stuff, but I'd be happy to find out I'm wrong (I
need the Hijry stuff).

Thanks,
