Jim: > 1 - section 5 - Testing an OWL implementation is labeled Informative. > I believe it would be consistent with WG decisions to be either > informative or normative (at the editors' discretion) declined. rationale: a) the text of this section has had less care than normative text (some of the phrasing is less precise than I would like with MUSTs and SHOULDs) b) the musts and shoulds are logical consequences of the MUSTS and SHOULDS in the conformance section. I would expect OWL implementors to grok that, without an explicit upcasing. c) that would make running the test suite obligatory for OWL implementations to claim conformance - if we choose to do that we would need more work on the abstract and introduction to make that clear, and it's a bit late for that. I would be happy to reconsider if there is more call for this change. Jeremy
