Great, thanks for sharing this mini implementation, as mentioned we will 
be starting to collect these for CR stage.

No, if dan:dwc is of type foaf:Person (or any other foaf:Agent subclass) 
then it conforms to the spec.

We used owl:oneOf, also for earl:SingleAssertor. I believe effectively 
it is the same outcome.

To avoid having the RDF/XML and the tables be both normative. However, I 
grant your point and we will re-discuss this issue.

Correct.

It should mean "An instance of an Assertion class must contain the 
following properties". Would that be a more precise way to phrase 
"owl:minCardinality 1" in simple text?
