The simplest answer to all this is "Don't use Functional Syntax for exchange or storage". This is not an unreasonable answer, but it's probably not a satisfactory answer. The simplest way to get this (functionally :)) changed is to submit a patch to the OWL API. Once the OWL API supports it, most things will need to follow suit :) I would couple that with a small preprocessing script that strips out such comments. Ideally, we'd update the OWL API to do a "best guess" job of salvaging comments from one format to another.... To address David's use case, it seems that it suffices to have rdfs:labels (and similar) and a pretty printer that munges the file in some way. If that version of the file is never passed on, then it doesn't matter if downstream parsers strip the #s Axioms annotations can be bent to this purpose quite easily, as well, I'd warrant... Cheers, Bijan.
