Re: ldp-ISSUE-61 (membershipSubject): remove membershipSubject [Linked Data Platform core]

Henry, 

In issue 51, I expressed a requirement to have a forward link between an LDPR and its LDPC's. Then at the F2F I was reassured (kind of) that at least there is a link from the LDPC back to it's LDPR using membershipSubject. So I cannot agree with removing the last remaining link. 

regards, 
Roger
