I don't see why the rules group should fail only because WOWG has failed 
to do this. 

WOWG could afford to fail here, because the issue at stake was not
essential for the WOWG folks/mission, but for web rules this issue
is essential!

But obviously there are (partial?) solutions, such as in N3/cwm and 
in Buchingae/Bossam. 

And Benjamin and Drew have made a clear point that a semantic web 
query and rules processor does need a well-defined scope of the
underlying knowledge base, so the concepts of closure/failure
are applicable.
