Yes-ish.

Yes, but I am an integrator first. Thus, irrespective of what we've 
implemented (which doesn't use rdfs:label) I see virtue in its 
short-term use. Basically, it lets others implement this optional tweak 
while WOT ontology is being sorted out.

As for labels, bar ourselves and Tabulator, I am not seeing lots of 
projects that actually make good use of rdfs:label in consistent fasion. 
And when it comes to handling the complexity on the ABox side of things, 
I am not seeing solutions (bar ours) that can deal with labeling 
heuristics at massive scales (e.g. > 20 Billion triples).

The goal (for me) is to always keep moving since there's always 
something on the way that can introduce unnecessary inertia for those 
seeking to deliver products. Of course, if one is doing research 
(solely), these bumps along the way are all good i.e., the open up new 
research branches etc..

Thus, I am happy to experiment with Toby since we can demonstrate 
utility of this approach. Bottom line, WOT will get sorted, at some 
point, but in the meantime I want to crack on with my goal of making 
WebIDs go viral etc..
