Looks good. What should the xmlns prefix be?

xmlns:veg="http://www.mindswap.org/2003/vegetarian#" ? Ah I see 
you have xmlns="http://www.mindswap.org/2003/vegetarian.owl#"

Is the .owl needed? seems like an implementation concern... (hmm but 
also nice re OWL marketing :)

Cool :)

I was just chatting to Amy van der Heil about W3C meeting planning 
and the categories they use.

<amy>	Omnivore (meat & etc)
<amy>	Vegetarian
<amy>	Vegan
<amy>	Kosher
<amy>	No red meat
<amy>	No shell fish
<amy>	No sugar
<amy>	Other dietary requirements (precise below)

Also common concerns are no sugar, no nuts (allergy), allergic to 
shellfish. Occsionally also wheat/dairy intolerence.

Not clear where to draw the line. Knowing religious views (eg. Kosher
is explicit above) helps with food but also with other aspects of
meeting planning (relig. holidays etc). Which in turn connects to the 
RDF/ical work (Libby -- any comments?).

I also meant to go look into airline std practice again, haven't done
yet.

Back to the detail of your vocab, any chance you could be persuaded to 
define in terms of http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person class instead of
(or as well as?) the isi Person class?

currently you have http://www.isi.edu/webscripter/person.o.daml#Person 

..maybe I could put a reference (reciprocal subclass???) to that 
class into the FOAF schema? Interested testbed for distributed vocab
issues...

cheers,
