Review of Web Ontology Language (OWL) Test Cases

I am reviewing Web Ontology Language (OWL) Test Cases (Editors Working
Draft 18 December 2002).
I found some incorrect statements as follows.

Comment 1.

in the Status of this document section.

General discussion of related technology is welcome in www-rdf-logic

SHOULD BE CHANGED TO

General discussion of related technology is welcome to www-rdf-logic@
w3.org.

Comment 2.

in 2.2.Conflict Resolution.

If the OWL recommendation has passed Candidate Recommendation then:
1.The conflict is reported to public-webont-comments@w3.org.
2.The working group, or its successors, considers the conflict
3.While this happens the other recommendation documents take precedence
over the test case.
4.If there is working group consensus to retain the test case as normative
and to publish an erratum against the other recommendation document(s)
then this is done.
5.Otherwise an erratum is published which deletes the test case.

Comment 3.

in 4.Conformance(Normative).

A system which claims complete OWL DL conformance MUST also be OWL DL
conformant.A system which claims complete OWL Lite conformance MUST also
be OWL Lite conformant.

SHOULD BE CHANGED TO

conformant.A system which claims complete OWL DL conformance MUST also
be OWL Lite conformant.

Comment 4.

in A.1.Creation.

An OWL feature that the test illustrates (by reference to the name of some
property or class in the OWL namespace.
An issue that the test case is related to (by reference to the issue URI as
specified in the OWL issues list [OWL Issues].

SHOULD BE CHANGED TO

Comment 5.

in B. Stylistic Preferences.

There is a preference for the following stylistic rules. None of these
rules
is obligatory, but test authors should be minded that it will be easier to
gain working gain group consensus if they follow these rules.
