This is a minimalist comment on your "CURIE Syntax 1.0" Candidate
Recommendation of 16 January [1].
The message is simply that the OWL Working Group has chosen [2] to use
its own IRI abbreviation mechanism (intended to be identical to the one
used in SPARQL), instead of using CURIEs.
Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to produce for you a detailed
review, discussed and approved by the Working Group. One member of the
group (Bijan Parsia) has agreed to convey in a separate message his
personal understanding of the issues, and we hope that will be helpful
and sufficient.
