I guess this is my fault. I agree the wording should be more careful, 
maybe something like "One way of looking at a class ..", etc., while 
also explaining the intensional view. The problem is that if you want to 
explain to people how OWL classes work, the notion of a class as a set 
of individuals is an absolute must for making soime sense. How can we 
otherwise explain, for example, the notion of a owl:Restriction class?

Except for the change above, I think the document is ready for review 
except for Sec. 6 and 7.
