Right. I agree with this interpretation of "constraints". They cannot be
enforced but very useful if they are observed. Most people need to make
this reasoning step in their mind, so it may be useful to include in the
introduction a paragraph explaining exactly the meaning of "constraints"
for the SKOS purposes (with the RDF-open-world-caveat).
Mark.
P.S. did anyone get any beer yet?
