Re: Publication proposal discussion summary

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.
