         (1) SWRL is not a rule language since it does not identify a sub 
fragment
         of logics that is interesting in computational terms. SWRL is 
simply yet another
         strange syntax for FOL.

         (2) If you want to talk about interesting member submission to W3C 
on rule languages
         take a look at the Web Rule Language (WRL).

         (3) I do not know what you mean with the OWL community but as a member
         of it I am fully committed to OWL but neither to SWRL nor OWL-S 
nor any of
         its additional dilutions.
