Re: Please update OWL Test results -- today if possible

That makes perfect sense.  Yes, the main page will be continually
updated.  The urgency comes mostly from the fact that we'd like the
Directory to make great claims about OWL implementations ("75% of the
X passed Y") in the announcement to the membership.  Some of the
claims we drafted are no longer quite met since we approved more of
the proposed tests, and it would be nice to get the numbers up again.
