Hi John,
Also thank you for your feedback, it is most instructive to see how
someone with another perspective looks at SKOS.

Nope, because <skos:prefLabel> has <rdfs:Resource> as domain
(inherited from <rdfs:label>). If the domain of prefLabel was
<skos:Concept> your statement is correct.

I agree it would help for some people, but for others may be confusing
and distracting from the main story. Am concerned that the Guide gets
"overloaded" with issues and becomes difficult to read.
Best,
Mark.
