+        <li>Too strongly coupled with RDF/XML; it's now just one out of many syntaxes and should perhaps not even be a normative reference</li>
+        <li>Move some content between RDF Semantics, RDF Schema and this document</li>
+        <li>Revisit informative sections 2 and 3; do they add value? Section 3 is very redundant with later normative sections</li>
+        <li>RFC 3066 is obsoleted by BCP47</li>
