I had thought that the ability to track these editorial delicacies was the primary purpose of having this rather odd format in a normative document. Clearly I have not handled this properly, I apologize. Under the circumstances, if your interpretation of the TR page is official W3C policy then it might be better to remove my name as an editor on the TR page. I believe it is there only as a courtesy in any case, and the document could still acknowledge my contributions to the relevant sections. I did almost none of the actual editorial work on this document as it stands, and I think I would prefer to feel free to criticize it than to have my name on it. I do not particularly like the way that the semantics is presented here. In particular, the abstract syntax seems to me to introduce a large clutter of misleading and unnecessary terminology, and if I had written an OWL semantics this would have been relegated to an appendix. So maybe I will :-) Pat -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- IHMC (850)434 8903 or (650)494 3973 home 40 South Alcaniz St. (850)202 4416 office Pensacola (850)202 4440 fax FL 32501 (850)291 0667 cell phayes@ai.uwf.edu http://www.coginst.uwf.edu/~phayes s.pam@ai.uwf.edu for spam
