[Some parts of the skos discussion  informally referenced the OWL 1.1 draft,
but I don't think HasKey was on the menu at the time].

SPIN is very nice; I think it does close the world, which is useful in these
cases.

The prefLabel uniqueness issue can be handled for skos-xl; the annotation
property labels are not rdf semantics friendly.

The Eurovoc ontology does some interesting sparql spackle on top of skos-xl
to infer the annotation property labels.

In regards to the requirement that preflabel must be unique within a scheme,
this is an essential property of controlled vocabularies (ambiguity
control).  See e.g. NISO Z39.19 section 5.3.1 (not sure what the paragraph
number is in 2788, but it's roughly the same wording).

It's been LC policy since 1876 :-) [Cutter rule # 173].

p.s.
Amusingly, Z39.19 uses the term polyseme polysemously to mean homonym.
Lexical semantics meta!
