Re: QCR problem in OWL 1.1 Full - action ?? from F2F

Can this be fixed by using a different property than  
owl:maxCardinality? e.g.

_:y rdf:type owl:Restriction
_:y owl:maxQualifiedCardinality "2"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger
_:y owl:onProperty child
_:y owl11:onClass Person

i.e. s/owl:maxCardinality/owl:maxQualifiedCardinality/
