I strongly support Mike Dean's remarks on local domain/range constraints and cardinality. Both are so commonly used in ER and O-O data models that it would be very weird if OWL would not support that at Level 1. I should add that "ease/frequency of use" is for me the prime criterion for putting a language feature in Level 1, and not whether the feature is difficult to implement in a DL reasoner (not saying this is the case).
