Guide question (OneOf) (was Re: OWL datatyping and example)

I meant to ask this at the f2f -- in the Guide the example of oneOf does this:

><owl:Class rdf:ID="WineColor">
>   <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#WineDescriptor"/>
>   <owl:oneOf rdf:parseType="Collection">
>     <owl:Thing rdf:about="#White"/>
>     <owl:Thing rdf:about="#Rose"/>
>     <owl:Thing rdf:about="#Red"/>
>   </owl:oneOf>
></owl:Class>

and then

><owl:Class rdf:ID="WineColor">
>   <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#WineDescriptor"/>
>   <owl:oneOf rdf:parseType="Collection">
>     <WineColor rdf:about="#White" />
>     <WineColor rdf:about="#Rose" />
>     <WineColor rdf:about="#Red" />
>   </owl:oneOf>
></owl:Class>
>

with text simply describing each as an alternative.  If one of these 
is preferred by most tools, I wonder if the Guide might add a word or 
two to say "the preferred way" -- so the question is really, do we 
care?  Do we want to recommend one or the other?

p.s. Jerome makes a good point, if oneOf can be used for datatypes, 
we should show an example (perhaps in the datatype section) since 
this will be a relatively complex construction - but very useful (use 
case: saying a value must be the string "a", the string "b", the 
string "c" or the string "d" would be very valuable in recognizing 
legal answers for your online 'Who wants to be a millionaire')
