Hear! Hear!

However, it is our job (per the charter) to discuss the mapping and 
identify what can be mapped from OWL to RIF and what cannot: <<This 
document [the REC on using le RIF in combination with OWL] must clearly 
state which features of OWL can be mapped to (or otherwise interoperate 
with) Phase 1 rules and which cannot, and software using this mapping 
must be demonstrated during interoperability testing. The document may 
also discuss rule language extensions to cover the excluded OWL features.>>
