The RDF working group defines RDF and RDFS, including the useful utility properties rdfs:label, rdfs:comment, rdfs:seeAlso and rdfs:isDefinedBy. 2. RDF people start to use these properties in conformance with the specs. 3. While defining OWL-DL, the OWL WG introduces rather arbitrary restriction on all these properties. 4. OWL people ask RDF people to stop subclassing these properties in order to meet the restrictions imposed by OWL-DL. This doesn't make any sense to me. The OWL WG blundered when they redeclared these properties as annotation properties.
