Superfluous attributes in OWL-S?

Hi.

What's the point of these datatype properties:

process:name (in Process.owl)
profile:serviceName (in Profile.owl)

They are both defined to range over xsd:string. It seems to me that the 
instance names could be used instead. At least process:name seems 
entirely superfluous. Perhaps serviceName is reasonable if a service is 
to have a "public name" shown for purposes of discovery, that is 
different from the name of the Profile instance.

Regards,
