To try to echo your argument about SHOULD

SHOULD means that we MUST have to have a good motivations for not doing 
so and MUST understand the ramifications of the decision.

The good motivation is:
- to not confuse OWL/XML document authors and/or implementors as to what 
is the normative definition of the language

Ramifications are:
- OWL/XML will not be automatically readable by XSLT aware GRDDL agents, 
but they will need to have special support.


And in your judgement the 'good motivation' outweighs the 'ramification'.

Have I expressed it about right?
