Re: more FPWDs? (was Re: Possible new public working draft?)

Michael,

I believe this would be more than just 'illustration'. If such an XSLT 
transform was done and its references properly added to the namespace 
document of OWL/XML, that would mean that every OWL/XML document could 
be automatically transformed into RDF/XML via a GRDDL aware processor 
(and they already exist!), which would have all kinds of practical 
advantages. And, of course, an implementation may reveal possible 
inconsistencies that could improve the quality of all specifications 
involved...
