Since the Webont WG seems to believe rdfs:comment statements don't carry meaning, I suppose the group wouldn't mind other folks making some (hopefully modest) rdfs:comment statements about OWL terms, using sentences from the OWL specs? We could then get these meaningless comments translated into other languages alongside the RDFCore terms... A beer in NY sounds great; sadly I can't make the trip any more. See some of you at ESWS this week though. cheers, Dan
