Probably.
I don't know when, or if, they were removed, or why they're back, if
indeed they are. The technical overview doesn't discuss them, so
I've thought of them as one of those odd things in the Owl-S attic.
But why exactly are they needed? The only difference between
precondition and computedPrecondition is how they were produced, which
seems like an arbitrary detail. One might just as well refine the
category further, and split computedPrecondition into
preconditionComputedAtDefinitionTime and preconditionRecomputedDaily.

Some see the glass as half empty, some as half full. Surely the
truth lies somewhere in between.
