What is specific to SKOS here - sharing Alistair's view on the scope of 
SKOS being indexing and search and retrieval of indexed resources - is 
the notion of indexing. On the format of rules I think SKOS should be 
agnostic, my proposal with skos:indexingRule is just to provide a black 
box wrapper saying "if you have specific indexing rules attached to this 
concept, put them here". This is open to any rule format, either in 
Semantic Web format or otherwise (even proprietary rules to be 
interpreted by whichever systems make sense of them).
