I propose that OWL users wanting to annotate their ontologies with no formal semantic entailments be recommended to use XML Comments. I propose that annotations within the RDF graph in OWL Lite and OWL DL be given the same formal semantic force as in RDFS. A way that this can be done is articulated in [1] (under heading "OWL Lite/DL Entailment between RDF/XML documents"). I propose that annotation properties be declared using an explicit type of owl:DatatypeProperty or owl:ObjectProperty, that they be syntactically restricted as in [1] to not interact with other aspects of the ontology, and that the production for individual in the abstract syntax be modified accordingly [i.e. the explicit {annotation} in the rule is no longer needed].
