I think he said that much better than I did!   I think simplification
is needed before pushing new functionality - I've said that many
times, but then I spent two years saying it to the WG and failed
there as well :-)   Seriously, I have no object to new design work
going on, but I think I'd be happier if  Googling "-xxxxxxx
filetype:owl" returned more hits before we began extending...
