David-
  I'm confused - seems to me you are confusing language and processing 
of the language.  DAML-S seems to me to be a model of declarative 
specification - prescribing how something "binds" seems to me to be a 
specification as to how you process that knowledge.  Seems to me that 
if DAML-S wants to add this sort of processing semantics (which I 
don't object to in principle), it is separate from the DAML language 
per se -- I.e. you need a DAML-S processing spec -- see the XML 
Process spec work at W3 for an example
