We had said at some point that it belongs in a spatial ontology. This issue is so that we can record an explicit decision about it.

What would the corrosponding tenporalized version look like? Is there a general pattern for how to treat relations that would be symmetric at the bfo-fol level?

The symmetry characteristic would be present in at-some-times, but not at-all-times. There may be other temporally qualified variants that are stronger for which we can retain transitivity.
