Why are the owl:FunctionalProperties in

http://www.daml.org/services/owl-s/1.0/Grounding.owl

such as owlsProcess

not declared to be owl:ObjectProperties as well?
They do have objects as range, but not having them
as ObjectProperties makes parsing unnecessarily difficult.
For example, the Jena parser will not recognize them as
OntProperties although they are clearly intended to be,
aren't they?  The relevant portion of the OWL ref is
