RE: OWL Time Ontology to Proposed Recommendation?

Thanks Rob - 

Could you write a couple of sentences with your thinking on this? 

Francois, Chris - 

I've done another scrub of the usage page. I found a few more adoption examples, including some small demonstrations of almost all of the at-risk features. Not yet in the numbers requested by the directorate, but definite movement. 

Probably the biggest question in my mind is around the producer/consumer axis. 
Not quite sure how to satisfy this, particularly for a product that is not expected to be exposed 'directly' but only as built deep into applications.

I can personally think of several use cases for the at-risk features. I'd like to retain them even it if means revisiting the issue later. -rhw
