Yes please! Some metadata is better expressed per-class, per-property; for
eg. pointers to test cases, decisions of the creating organisation., etc etc.
RDFS allows arbitrary additional metadata for classes and properties, which is 
why OWL can be layered on top of RDFS. A similar flexibility in OWL's design 
might allow an OWL 1.1 or OWL 2.0 to be added later...
