SEM: peeking at approach to 4.6 EquivalentTo

The writing on semantics seems to be coming along great...

I noticed what looks like an inconsistency between
the "stance on issues" take on 4.6...

========
http://www-db.research.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/temp/owl/semantics.html#1.2

#  The document does not have a construct (like daml:equivalentTo) for
asserting that a name is the same as another name, assuming that issue
4.6 will be resolved against including this feature in OWL.
========

and an actual spec for that very feature:

====
excerpt from
http://www-db.research.bell-labs.com/user/pfps/temp/owl/rdfs.html

Some OWL properties have iff characterizations

If E is then <x,y> \in EXTI(SI(E)) iff

owl:sameIndividualAs x = y
====

I hope the "stance on issues" bit is just out of date.

If you have a moment to confirm, or to explain why
it's not, I'd appreciate it.
