My underlying assumption would be that the default thing served up would be
html, but you could reach the other representation consistently through
adding an appropriate ending or whatever would be most suitable... but that
people looking at the html should have a shiny red button type clue that
there is another way to retrieve the info which is for example as owl.

Why would you argue against using it as the resolving point for individual
classes?

Currently this is not supported at all, correct? I mean you always point at
a version. So you would suggest that 'current' should be 'versionless'?

How I understood Erlangen to work is that it just makes the versionless URI
redirect to the current. So I thought the idea would be that 'current'
resolves to the present official (whatever the present official means). If
a class has been deprecated then I guess it would have to revert to the
last official in which it had existed?
