Yes, and it was supported in the OWL API v1 which used the old abstract syntax as its internal object model. The OWL API v2 uses the UML described model. (So when I said, "all historical parsers" I meant that have been in v2.) At the moment we don't parse the functional syntax either (and I'm not sure we will). We, of course, welcome patches ;) All one needs is to write the appropriate parser to or serializer from the OWL API v2 object model. I do suggest it as a student project every now and again, but I'm reluctant to put non-owned and maintained code into the release or into the service. A higher priority in my book would be a translation to a standard FOL syntax... Cheers, Bijan.
