Yes, it would be great to get some more eyes on the formal schemas for
SKOS [2] and XL [3].

I did run some scripts over them to check for consistency with the
SKOS Reference, but my scripts are fairly simple so cannot check for
everything.

FWIW I did...

[4] --[5]-> [6] (extract formal prose sentences from reference)
[6] --[7]-> [8] (generate python version of skos as triples)
[6] --[9]-> [10] (generate python version of xl as triples)
[2]+[8] --[11]-> [12] (check python skos against rdf skos)
[3]+[10] --[13]-> [14] (check python xl against rdf xl)

Cheers,
