Here is a slightly changed XML presentation Schema. I think that this is
now complete and correct.

<!-- XML Schema for OWL
Peter F. Patel-Schneider, Bell Labs Research
19 December 2002
This is an XML schema for an XML syntax for OWL. I have included some
comments in-line, to show what is going on.
This XML Schema defines an XML dialect similar to the OWL abstract syntax.
For arcane technical reasons it is somewhat more general in a few places,
allowing zero or more descriptions where a single description is allowed in
the OWL abstract syntax. Each of these places can be translated to the OWL
abstract syntax by wrapping the descriptions in an intersectionOf.
