It was more like invitation to start active discussion about TMCL-Lite /
TMCL Schema / OWL / OSL :-)

Just several topics which I am really curious about:
-- partial descriptions vs. type/class definitions,
-- OWL -style class definitions vs. faceted classifications
-- descriptions/constraints inheritance,
-- combining descriptions/constraints,
-- context based constraints (do constraints have scope?)
-- integration with already existing "subtype-supertype" association (OWL
does not have this problem)
-- what is the point to have disjointWith if we can not represent
information that X is not instance of Y
