Ryan, I've seen your other mail about this. Have you setup a subversion
repository ? I think this would indeed be good.

I agree with Ryan

I like it too. That's the main weakness of GSS (RDF-based selector
language, which makes selectors too verbose and hard to understand).

This would be more elegant IMO, as it would be more explicit.

I'm not sure whether this should be considered part of the lens
vocabulary or style vocbulary. On one hand, this is about specifying
what to display (=> lens vocab). On the other hand, this is not exactly
about "what" to display, but "when" to display it (according to context
: user prefs, browser capabilities...), so it can also be considered
part of the style vocabulary. Any strong opinion on this matter ?

+1
I also have a question w.r.t the use of RDFPath expressions in lens
domains : in the FOAF example, Chris gives examples of styleDomain whose
value is an RDFPath expression. But I did not see any for lensDomain. Is
this because this is not possible, or because you did not have any
example at hand ; i.e., can you use RDFPath expressions as lensDomain
property values ?
