Your point is correct, there is no such simple mapping from a vocabulary to
a sublanguage.

Without the owl:intersectionOf blemish the difference between OWL Lite and
OWL DL can be largely motivated by the additional vocabulary. I think for
instance the guide would be harder to read and harder to write if it
correctly reflected AS&S on this point.

Since at the moment all our documents are informative "works in progress", I
don't believe that the higher status that we have agreed to give to AS&S,
when it is a recommendation, is particularly relevant to the discussion of
what the consensus opinion is.

I suspect that most of the WG understand Guide/Overview/Reference better
than AS&S.
Hence my belief that the majority position is that owl:intersectionOf is not
in OWL Lite.

(Again, I don't care - I would vote concur on the substantive issue).
