In the case of datatype, unspecifying is really a necessary evil, IMHO.
The case of dates was sufficiently compelling to convince me to do it,
but I didn't do it gladly.

Unless a real practical problem arises with other datatype properties,
I'm not in favor of underspecify them.

We did that some time ago, IIRC, because it required owl:unionOf, which
was breaking compliance with simple OWL2 profiles.

sorry, I don't understand that. Can you give an example?
