comments on PROV-DM

Dear Provenance Working Group,

I think at least 2 constraints are missing in the following document:

http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-constraints/#constraints

One can express an activity (a) start-time using:

a prov:startedAtTime t1;

The same activity (a) start-time can be expressed by:

a prov:qualifiedStart [ a prov:Start prov:atTime t2].

I think these two sentences are equal in PROV-DM. If my interpretation 
is correct, then there should be a constraint saying for the same a,  
t1=t2.  Then a similar constraint is required for activity end-time.

I'm not sure if the objective of constraint 29 and 30 was to cover the 
above mentioned constraints.

Thanks,
Reza
