(( an aside:
That's an unreliable way to point to something. Next month or in the
next country over, Google may return something different. (In
particular, if we use the term "EU-Rent" in one of our specs, we'll
probably get googlemark on it. One of our wiki pages is already on the
first page of results.) For me right now Google returns:
http://www.businessrulesgroup.org/first_paper/br01ad.htm
))
Can you pick out a rule example from EU-Rent that cannot be given
reasonable logical semantics using the approach I'm suggesting [1] for
unifying RIF?
