Heh, I wondered if this was the issue. Since the Webont WG seems to 
believe rdfs:comment statements don't carry meaning, I suppose the group 
wouldn't mind other folks making some (hopefully modest) rdfs:comment 
statements about OWL terms, using sentences from the OWL specs? We could
then get these meaningless comments translated into other languages 
alongside the RDFCore terms...

A beer in NY sounds great; sadly I can't make the trip any more. See
some of you at ESWS this week though.

cheers,
