I thought we decided that was the correct expansion,
or that we delegated to the editors or some such,
but upon review of the records, I'm compelled to
agree: the published WDs conflict with our
decision record:


"RESOLVED: We will call the language OWL (Ontology
Web Language)"
 -- Minutes 3rd January 2002

("How did he find that?" you might ask; well, I remembered
we talked about the name at the 1st ftf; so I
went to the history section of the WG homepage
  http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/#L109
and reviewed the records of the Jan 2002 ftf.
Didn't find it there, but checked the telcons
following it, and bingo, there it is.)

I kinda like the way the WDs are, so I'm interested in
re-opening that decision. Hm... is the fact that
the WDs are now published and I (among others) like
it sufficient new information to revisit the
decision, Mr. Chair? Or shall we instruct the editors
to fix the WDs w.r.t. our decision record?
