My suggestion would be that imports is an XML attribute on the enclosing
tag of an ontology.
So an OWL ontology would look something like:
<rdf:RDF owl:imports="foo:bar">
...
</rdf:RDF>
where the document pointed at by foo:bar should contain an OWL ontology.
(If it does not, then a null ontology is used.)
It would be nice to allow multiple imports, but this is not possible in
XML, so the value would have to be a list of URLs.
Other things, like backward compatibility could be handled in the same way.
