There have been some threads about contradictions on
public-sw-meaning@w3.org recently. In one of them, today Pat Hayes
said, with respect to someone else's example -
"... Look, it seems obvious that inconsistencies in closely related
documents (eg one uses a vocabulary originating in the other) are a Sign
of Something being Wrong. What exactly is wrong, however, will depend
on the context, in ways we cannot possibly predict. Maybe people are
confused; maybe they just disagree; maybe one of them is trying to screw
over the other; whatever. We can't legislate for that; all we can do is
to say when there are inconsistencies, and we do that already. "
