I believe that Pat's entire point, is that having something 'dark' to RDF
would free the OWL MT to provide a formal meaning, and since the lists are
defined using OWL, that would indeed be the case. Certainly a construct that
is dark to both RDF and OWL would have no meaning (although perhaps
something like DAML Rules, or N3 etc. would be free to define meaning for
those constructs etc.). To me, this seems like a proper layering/language
extension mechanism.
