I disagree that the remaining uses of definition and declaration (and their variants) are unproblematic. The first case that I found in the document is "all the rdfs:subClassOf declarations needed to walk the class hierarchy must exist in the data graph." However, there is application notion of declaration available to make sense of this sentence. I expect that the intent here is "triples with predicate rdfs:subClassOf". The working group needs to appoint someone to go through the document to ensure that these words are no longer being misused. Peter F.
