Heflin's message on proposal to move forward:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Sep/0378.html
- status of debate: main options/decision points
- actions for amended/new resolutions

one opinion is that we should not do anyting that requires new parsers
Jim says, that rdf:RDF may not be required in theory but pratice etablishes
it as a standard
multiple rdf:RDF is not defined, depends on parser behaviour
jim proposes to take identifier for import out of possible domain of
resources, which can be subject of OWL statements
