[GeoJSON] Three threads coming together

GeoJSON folks -

I've just joined this list, so I hope no offense will be taken if I jump right in.

Taking a look in the archives I noticed this in the most recent mail:

http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/ is a good place to start, but is not (yet) normative.
It is a W3C Working Draft, and has been stuck there since 2006!

Its status was raised in the W3C/OGC joint meeting in London in March.
In particular see the notes from the Barcamp convened by Jeremy Tandy at the end:

Moving forward there is a plan to revive W3C owl-time and move it towards finalization.
There will be some changes, though I expect all the things you find there now will remain because they are widely used.
But there are likely to be a few additions, so the items raised in this thread could be dealt with.
