It might also be worth adding that in the early days of DAML+OIL the group wasted a lot of time discussing/arguing about the meaning of RDFS constructs, such as range and domain, whose semantics was (then) only informally specified. I would suggest that we don't want to repeat that mistake with OWL. Moreover, formalising the semantics of range and domain made it clear to all concerned that the most obvious reading of the informal specification had unintended and undesirable consequences. The RDF WG has since fixed this problem, but they may never have known about it without the formalisation. Ian
