Re: Disjunction vs. Optional ... and UNION

Er... really? I'm not sure what leads you to that conclusion.

The text you quoted was from a proposal to drop the disjunction
requirements... a proposal which did *not* carry.

In our issues list, the disjunction issue...
  http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/issues#disjunction
notes our decision to _adopt_ a design for disjunction.

I'm reasonably confident the examples you gave

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg-comments/2005Mar/0034.html

work in that design (modulo syntactic details), but I'll look
into making test cases out of them to be sure.
