Some brief comments on the latest version of the OWL Abstract Syntax document (prompted by trying to use the abstract syntax in a tutorial style document). o The mixed use of "feature=X" and "feature(X)" forms is ugly and potentially confusing -- e.g. cardinalities use "()" and someValuesFrom uses "=". Why not stick to one or the other? o There are places where parsing could be unnecessarily tricky, i.e., something like "union ( person restriction (...))" where restriction could actually be a class called restriction or the start of some restriction syntax. Tidying up the syntax a little and adopting some consistent conventions (e.g. keywords always followed by parentheses) should alleviate both these problems I think.
