Time Ontology outstanding Issue 1

Dear All,

Here is an issue in the latest draft of the Time Ontology http://w3c.github.io/sdw/time/ for discussion and resolution.
----------------
Section 2 Changes from previous versions
Issue 1 https://www.w3.org/2015/spatial/track/issues/64

Most of the properties defined in the original ontology have global constraints on the domain and range. If the rdfs:domain were left unspecified, the properties could be used more widely without undesirable entailments. Their use in the context of the classes in the ontology is adequately controlled through guarded restrictions (local cardinality constraints)
----------------

I have probably misunderstood, but is this something that has already been done to the revised ontology at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/w3c/sdw/gh-pages/time/rdf/time.ttl or something that is proposed?

If not yet done, is it a proposal to remove the definition:

rdfs:domain [

      rdf:type owl:Class ;

      owl:unionOf (

          :GeneralDateTimeDescription

          :Duration

        ) ;

    ] ;


?

Or is this a proposal to remove all definitions of rdfs:domain in the ontology? That is, all the statements like:
rdfs:domain :TemporalEntity ;

rdfs:domain :GeneralDateTimeDescription ;

rdfs:domain :DateTimeInterval ;

rdfs:domain :Instant ;

rdfs:domain :ProperInterval ;

rdfs:domain :GeneralDurationDescription ;

rdfs:domain :TimePosition ;

rdfs:domain :Duration ;
