Discussion.

The following issues (amongst others) were discussed.
- the removal of restrictions with extra components.
- normative status
- abstract syntax vs triple syntax (and domain of discourse)
- the role of the related XML schema
- where is the formal semantics
(see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Jun/0082.html
)
- intended audience (WG members or for outside WG)
- purpose/utility of document
- publishability of current draft

There was some disagreement on each of these.
