Re: RDF mapping of OWLClass, Datatype...

I believe that there is no problem with the syntax document, but that
there is a minor problem with the RDF mapping document, which I have
documented at
http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Talk:Mapping_to_RDF_Graphs#Transformation_to_Triples
Feel free to open an issue for this.
