I think there's a strong reason to keep it. In several applications, e.g. [1], I explicitly display daml:versionInfo as a cheap form of provenance (rdfs:comment isn't specific enough, and using my own property isn't general enough). I also use it heavily for "instance data", with both static and dynamic content. Mike [1] http://www.daml.org/2001/07/signup/teams.html#colophon
