That unsmiley is realistic ...

We have an objective:

O4. Range constraints on data types
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-webont-req-20020708/#obj-range-constraints

which requires these URIs.
It is the responsibility of the XML Schema WG to provide them, but they have
bitten off a bigger problem:

rt

The DAML+OIL solution is proven, but not blessed by an appropriate group. We
are not really the appropriate group to bless it. What is the best way of
persuading XML Schema WG to do so?
