Many months ago when I was doing some OWL2 work I was foiled in my
attempt to use this feature because the major reasoners (pellet, HermiT,
Fact++) were not able to do anything useful with custom datatypes. I
don't recall if Protege OWL handled them at that time, either.

Wrong list for that discussion, but I agree it is a very useful feature.
I have no knowledge of current implementation status of custom datatypes
in various OWL tools.
