Re: Confusion about the Working Group

I concur with your analysis: capitalise when used as a name (such as  
OWL Working Group), but don't capitalise otherwise.

However, I think that we have higher priorities at the moment -- so  
let's try not to forget this and add it to the list of minor  
editorial changes (references also come to mind) to work on after LC.
