RESOLVED ISSUE-29 (owl:Datatype deprecated)

I effected the proposal for ISSUE-29 as far as Syntax, Semantics, and
Mapping are concerned.  As usual changes can be found in the notes on
the issue.  The only substantive changes are in Mapping.

The equivalence has to be put in the to-be-developed OWL Full semantics.
