Perhaps not, but in that sense the lBase doc has then also excluded XML Schema from being a semantic web language, since (unless you buy some of pfps's contortions in Yin/Yang), it cannot be expressed as a logical language in the way that lBase requires. I think being less ambitious and more specific in scope is desirable. Jeremy
