In the RDF model, yes. For example, if you have an RDF store using a 
relational backend, the XML gets stored as a string.

But in the RDF/XML, you have XML:

<foo:bar rdf:parseType="Literal"><text:span>blah 
<text:span>blah</text:span></foo:bar>

So in other words, WRT to RDF/XML export, it's nothing to worry about. 
Just output it as proper XML with the rdf:parseType attribute set to 
"Literal."

Is there something about your precise language here ("concatenated 
...") that is important?

I guess I'm not seeing the problem.
