I'm absolutly not qualified to talk about the logical issues here, but
from a practical point of view, both as a user and developer its very
useful to be able to distinguish a graph as fetched from the web and any
entailments from it.

Pre-SPARQL versions of 3store did not seperate them (as far as the user
could tell), and it caused confusion.
