RE: LANG: Proposal to close ontology versioning (ISSUE 5.14)

Last time I looked, in a propositonal logic A and B are boolean 
variables that can be True or False.  Maybe it has been too long.

Not if B is inconsistent with A, at least in any sense of 
'consistent' I am aware of. (It might be possible to tweak a linear 
logic to have the property you claim; I'm not enough of a 
linear-logic maven to know for sure. I doubt it, though.)

I *am* thinking propositionally, which is largely why I think that we 
are building a crock with owl:imports. I don't think it makes 
propositional sense.
