   So, #W3C lore request: the Web Ontology Language is usually abbreviated "OWL". I think this is a humourous reference to the Owl character in "Winnie the Pooh", who misspells his own name "WOL". Does anyone know if it is indeed a reference?

     @evan I'm actually not surprised that I never noticed the abbreviation is in the wrong order!
