Wow. This is where I really have to wonder if OWL is Karl Popper's
revenge on the world, a naive view of useful information as a collection
of facts, "objective knowledge".
Hmm... Popper died September 17, 1994, and the W3C started up in October
1994. Maybe I'm not completely wacky - maybe the W3C is just taking up
the questions Popper valued using philosophical assumptions about the
nature of knowledge he would probably quite like.
Oh well. Too far from markup - can we talk about elements and
attributes again?
