I'm unclear why we need the one of, but I would say that an  
implementation, in strict mode, should report that it cannot process  
that ontology because there is a literal with too many digits.

In a lax mode, it might ignore that axiom but still pump a warning to  
sterror or stout.

Our spec clearly says what this *means*, of course.
