There are several other serious problems with the current SKOS draft,  
but I will limit myself here to an issue with the use of prefLabel and  
language tags that has not been mentioned in this thread: a concept  
can have multiple classification numbers from the same scheme.

For example, many library of congress subject headings are associated  
with mutiple Dewey Decimal numbers.

Since there can only be one prefLabel per concept per language, this  
presents a problem.

Simon // not as big a problem as the redefinition of broader though
