Peter, As I've stated before, WG review, discussion of the issues I and others have raised, a better feel that the design that would add so many new terms to OWL (almost double what is there now) is the right way to go. Ian and Alan have suggested a proposal to do just that and thus I support it. I think it is the correct way to go and would take very strong convincing that any other direction makes sense at this point. Arguing hypotheticals about what would change my mind seems useless to me, esp. when such a clear way ahead (matching so well w/W3C practice) has been proposed. -JH On Oct 24, 2007, at 10:54 AM, Peter F.
