The following DTD inside a document

<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF [
   <!ATTLIST owl:cardinality
        rdf:datatype CDATA #FIXED
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#nonNegativeInteger"
   >
]>

allows the omission of the rdf:datatype attribute on owl:cardinality

(See:

http://sealpc09.cnuce.cnr.it/jeremy/premises004.rdf

for a complete example)

I propose that:
 Guide and Tests should use such internal DTD declarations for
owl:cardinality, owl:minCardinality, owl:maxCardinality and any ontology
specific DatatypeProperty-s to avoid having rdf:datatype attributes in the
body of the RDF/XML data.

This is in addition to the entity definitions already included in the guide,
and proposed for inclusion in test cases.

I note that the comment in the current version of the OWL Reference suggests
using property attributes for owl:cardinality within HTML content. This does
not work, even with the DTD declarations above.
