Schema.org docs say that you can use text in place of any other type

[cygri]

From the schema.org documentation:

We also expect that often, where we expect a property value of type Person, Place, Organization or some other subClassOf Thing, we will get a text string.

So, where we say that the range of some property is schema:Person, we should expect to get a simple string value some of the time. Possible answers:

1. We document proper usage. While some improper usage is expected and consumers should deal with it, we don't have to document such usage.
2. Well, who said that schema:Person is disjoint from strings? In fact, we could translate the quote above into RDFS like this:

xsd:string rdfs:subClassOf schema:Thing.
