       2.3.2. rdfs:subClassOf

       This property specifies a subset/superset relation between classes. The
       rdfs:subClassOf property is transitive. If class A is a subclass of some
       broader class B, and B is a subclass of C, then A is also implicitly a
       subclass of C. Consequently, resources that are instances of class A will
       also be instances of C, since A is a sub-set of both B and C. Only instances
       of rdfs:Class can have the rdfs:subClassOf property and the property value
       is always of rdf:type rdfs:Class. A class may be a subclass of more than one
       class. 

Instances of a subclass of C are also instances of the class C,
so using a property with domain C with instances of subclasses is allowed.
