>>After some discussion, both email, telecon and face to face amongst those

>>in our specs, in other W3C specifications, and from wider use is high. The
>>working group did give serious consideration to making this change,
>>but could not justify the cost given the stage we are at the development
>>and deployment of this technology. As a result, we continue to
>>use 'rdf schema' as the name for RDF Core's vocabulary description language.

>>Please reply to this message as to whether this response is

on behalf of the Web Ontology Working Group I accept this response as 
satisfactory - there has been no opposition to it from the WG
