Nothing; I didn't mean to say he's not being consistent.
I just mean to say that the WG hasn't delegated this
matter to the editor. Peter essentially read from
the WG record to Jeff in his reply of 16Jun

  Because there is no standard way to go from a URI reference to an
  XML Schema datatype in an XML Schema, there is no standard way to
  use user-defined XML Schema in OWL.

but that didn't satisfy Jeff:

  I am not sure about this. ...

But it's not up to Peter to continue the negotiation;
this isn't between the commentor and the editor;
it's between the commentor and the WG.

So the next step is up to the WG, esp. the chairs: does Jeff's
latest message cause us to reconsider our position?

Yes, the chair could re-open issue 5.6 and the WG could decide to adopt
Jeff's suggestion.
