Not everything has to be declared ;)

I think the issue with this approach is to avoid trying define a 
REL(kilometer, mile) function in OWL, when all you really need to do 
is denote the function with a name in OWL and use a programming 
language (or calculus) to define it. Using MathML is pushing the 
problem soemwhat around, since MathML doesn't have an MT (to my 
knowledge). I could just as well provided a scripting language hook 
in CDATA, or an XSLT fragment and declared /that/ as the function 
(akin to providing a lambda evaluation instead of a name as Tom 
pointed out).

Arguably it's just as useful to fix the name of a function and not 
the function itself since not all functions have constant results. 
Consider how we'd model currency exchange rates using set 
containment rather than simply naming the rates.
