I only made a passing remark, and I tried to say that it wasn't meant to start a row; but nevertheless it was, I think, worth making in the context: there was a genuine confusion being caused by the DL/logic distinction, and it was germane to the topic. (I have to say, you DL folk are *extraordinarily* touchy and defensive. Particularly the ones from Bell Labs. ) >is > - unproductive (it does not make sense at this point to start >over with another >foundation for OWL at this late date You speak here, I take it, as the person who is planning to produce an 'axiomatic semantics' for OWL, ie a translation of OWL into logic? But I didn't in any case for a moment mean to suggest that we should be changing anything, only to express regret that we didn't do things better in the first place.
