I suppose I am interested in, suppose the WG decided to publish this document, but allowed you to write the introductory status section, what would you say: The MOF is still being review and is not yet a consensus design. or The MOF is not a consensus design, and some WG members are developing an alternative design. or The MOF is not a consensus design, and some WG members believe it to be seriously flawed and are developing an alternative design. or Some aspects of this document depend on the MOF that can be found in [OWL 1.1 Member Submission]: the WG is currently addressing various issues with this design and hope to incorporate a MOF in a future version of this document. or ???? As an example, while I dislike the RDF Mapping doc in the member submission, I would be prepared to agree to a publication that merely contained the title, the introduction, and one or two empty sections with words to the effect that the sections will be filled in along the lines of the member submission and/or OWL 1.0 S&AS section 4, in a future version. I don't believe such a document would be helpful, but it would be an honest working draft, reflecting a gap between different views in the WG, which, in the fullness of time, we will bridge. Jeremy
