More of the story....   

My first/larger version...

    http://www.w3.org/People/Sandro/owl2-profiles-doc

was aimed at answering that question.  I was/am hoping to let people
click on any area and see which features are available.  I imagine this
diagram would go into Profiles, and producing it is just some mechanical
work on stuff that's already in there.

I thought maybe the smaller version in Overview might link to the bigger
version in Profiles, when it's ready.

In other words, I think people will ask the question anyway, and I'd
like to have an answer ready.
