fragments question re DL-Lite

In the document it reads (Section 3.1)

> The following constructs can be used to define subclasses in  
> SubClassOf axioms:
> ...
>     * existential quantification to a class ( ObjectSomeValuesFrom )  
> where the class is limited to owl:Thing,


and

> The following features of OWL 1.1 are missing in DL-Lite:
>
>     * existential quantification to a class (ObjectSomeValuesFrom),

I assume the latter is for class other than owl:Thing?  Do we mean  
here only the class owl:Thing or any class that is a subclass of  
owl:Thing?  If the former, is that just included for completeness or  
is there a real case where it could be useful?

thanks
