Not to be part of BFO core release, but to be addressed asap after release, in 
the context of organizing relations of the RO and considering BSPO.

Not sure I follow the connection to BPSO. 

On the importance of adding these, rather than relying on an external java 
implementation:

Clearly if your aim is complete Allen interval inference on a set of 
individuals, an implementation outside of OWL would be more efficient.  But 
current use case involves relationships between classes and a requirement for 
some relatively small subset of inference from the Allen algebra.  Relations in 
OWL and implementation of the composition table as property chains are needed 
for this.
