The OWL-Time draft does not explicitly give a namespace URI for
this ontology.   Reference [8] points to a .owl file in Feng's part
of the isi.edu URI space.  That file and the linked RDF/XML examples
use the namespaces

   http://www.isi.edu/~pan/damltime/time.owl#
   http://www.isi.edu/~pan/damltime/timezone-us.owl#

[8] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/OEP/Time-Ontology#ref-8

I don't think the WG really intends those to be the proposed
namespace names and they probably won't fly with W3C
namespace naming policy anyway [2].

I intend to change these to

  http://www.w3.org/2006/09/time#
  http://www.w3.org/2006/09/timezone-us#

I hope this is not controversial.  I don't think the reviewers
noticed this.  I think I may have noticed it last year but I can't
find evidence that I commented.  I don't know how much
running code may exist that depends on those damltime URIs.

Please respond quickly if you think we need to discuss this change.
