[Fwd: Re: Invitation for review of POWDER documents (Last Call)]

My intention is to answer 'yes' to all the points, ie, that the WG is
satisfied. Any objections to that?

All updated, thank you.

I am leaning towards removing the domain triple altogether, as
it is obviously gratuitous.

Updated.

Shouldn't it be owl:someValuesFrom to guarantee that the specified
value exists? Since hasIRI is functional, it also guarantees that all
values are also as expected. I am interested in OWL WG's reaction to
this.

Indeed, modulo the owl:allValuesFrom vs. owl:someValuesFrom issue.
