I'm no expert on this, but in a paper I just read a few days ago it says: "Documents that attempt to redefine known vocabulary (such as those in the OWL or RDFS specification) will be in OWL Full. Attempting to add new terms in known namespaces (OWL, RDF, RDFS, etc.) will place the document under OWL Full as well, even innocuous statements such as subclassing rdf:label."
