Re: test manifest file

I am still uncertain as to just what the information in the test manifest
file means, so I would appreciate a short description of the various
classes, properties, and values.  I was just trying to find what the
various values for approved status were, and could not find them.

No.  I don't see anything in these files that make them not be in OWL Full,
so silence would be misleading.

Well, as I don't really know what level is supposed to mean I don't really
know, all I can do is make guesses.

Well, again this depends on what level means.  My view is that here it
should mean that the test is suitable for a tool that checks syntactic
correctness for that level.  If this is the case then Lite is not wrong,
but then an OWL DL syntactic checker has no business looking at the test
(and mine doesn't) as something that is not in Lite might be in DL.

This would be wrong unless there was explicit wording that the
NotOWLFeature tests were meant to be tests of conformance to OWL DL
syntax.  However, I would still vote to put a test level of DL in for these
tests.
