I don't think this is of practical relevance. In logic skolemized statements
are not logically equivalent to the original ones because you have introduced
new symbols *in the whole system* and the truth of the original statement is
independend of these symbols. If you look at statements and their skolemized
versions as *different axiom systems* it should be possible to construct a
model for the skolemized versions out of a model of the original versions
and vice versa. the systems are somehow equivalent. I cannot substantiate that
because I am not a logician.
