I thought this had already come up and been added to the postponed issues list. That's the best we can do, IMO. WebOnt don't have much of a leg to stand on, we added the collections syntax following their design, and got sign-off from them ... The requirement statement was wrong. Fixing it at this stage is too difficult.
