There is no reason to embed them in *all* clients ... just those that want
to be semantically aware but not restrained by  the limitations of DMAL.
The path for finding the KIF rule is in no way complex; and there are lots
of programs that can draw inferences from these KIF rules, as you well know.

How is Godel's Incompletness Theorem involved here.  Could you explain?
