More precisely, the argumentation hierarchy gives reasons why 
numerical quantifiers should not only be definable but included in
a good_general_KRL (or, now, perfect_general_KRL).
For "RDF+OWL is not a good_general_KRL", I added the softening 
comments of John Sowa.

Ok, I'll do (and will update the semi-formal summary with the objections
that will be given to me). However, the designers of CL have 
purposely restricted its expressivity, hence all what my email can
achieve is to explicit the reasons behind this restriction (and I am
sure there are good reasons). If someone knows a document (email, 
...) that lists the reasons for these restrictions, please indicate it.
I'll either use it to prepare my email.
