This list is fine, though technically we've moved over to use the 
semantic-web@w3.org list nowadays; you'll find more active attention
there I think. See http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/ for archives, and
http://www.w3.org/Mail/Request for info on how to subscribe.

Not quite my corner of the specs, sorry. I'm cc:'ing Dave Beckett in 
case he has any insights. BTW if this turns out to be 
feedback on the specs themselves, there is another list, 
www-rdf-comments@w3.org which gets monitored (when we have an active 
working group) for errata etc. 


cheers,
