Peter,

   I don't think we have a problem of one-logic many syntaxes. As you 
point out, that is not a problem at all.

   We have a problem of many logics one syntax.  If you do have an 
integrated model theory of RDF, RDFs and OWL and DAML-S, ... one which 
does not require RDF and RDFs to throw away many of their features to 
fit the model of a description logic, you really should propose it.

 Otherwise, I am afraid all I can see is consternation caused by the 
inability of description logics to accomodate a fairly basic feature 
that has been found useful in many widely implemented systems.
