Another simpler example would be <property> rdfs:range foaf:Person. 
http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_Person says that "Something is a Person if it
is a person". How can an RDF container of several persons be a person?

If one can put a container where a container is not explicitly sanctioned by 
the semantics of the property, then I have missed something important.
