The reason that I'm opposed to the change is that it would mean that these nodes would not have typing information associated with them. The requirement for typing information for all nodes in OWL DL came from you, I believe. If you think that typing information is not required for list nodes, then why did you agitate for this requirement? > Jeremy > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20030123-issues/#timbl-03 > [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0586.html > [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Apr/0273.html peter
