Yes, I see: TimBL seemed to be implying that logic is inherent to any RDF
type system, in fact even more basic that most of the RDF Syntax model
itself...of course this still begs the question:-
What namespace do we use for logic assertions, i.e. how can we add it to the
basic tenet of RDF?

A question I am still perplexed by. If this logic is essential to moving RDF
to the next stage, why wasn't it built in in the first place, or specified
in a satellite draft?
