Okay, I'll hunt it out, it might be there because it's a longer more formal description than the rdfs:comment, but I'll check.

There is an open question as to whether the actions (in particular) would be better modelled as a SKOS classification scheme than a set of abstract things… I think on balance I'm leaning towards “yes” (particularly as a classification scheme allows skos:broader and skos:narrower-type relationships). I don't feel hugely strongly on it, but more than happy to make the change if there's anything approaching a consensus that it'd be an improvement!

My personal feeling is that it should be *autogeneratable* as much as possible (so the the documentation is self-contained), even if it's then turned into HTML or wikitext with some hand-cranking and published somewhere. That said, I know it doesn't have complete descriptions for everything yet.

Oh, LODE's quite a bit nicer than the tool I've been using to do that!
