Not to mention that the XML syntax documents examples are horrifically unfriendly, what with qnames from hell scattered about.

No, but there should be. I keep meaning to take up the XML syntax document which was quite neglected, but other things intervene. Presuming there will be a WG, I would imagine this is something they could take up. For now, if you are taking notes on what you're doing you could either file them as issues or you could set up a wiki page (or a side document) to keep track on: http://code.google.com/p/owl1-1/ I have a sneaky idea on how to specify this... Cheers, Bijan.
