What do you mean by an inconsistent document? Is it an OWL KB for which
there is no model?

What are the allowable answers to consistency/entailment questions?
Are they two valued (T/F or whatever) or three valued (including "don't
know")? If you allow "don't know" answers, then a system can be fully
compliant simply by answering "don't know" to all
consistency/entailment questions. If you don't allow "don't know"
answers, then incomplete systems will not be compliant.
