(This is a peripherally related to ISSUE-131, and is a response to its
opening, but is really about ISSUE-111.)

Even for OWL-Full?

To be clear: in OWL 1, test cases are parameterized by the intended
profile.  The entailments of an OWL document are not defined unless you
have that parameter in hand.  I think we're agreed that this is bad.
You're saying that aside from the split between OWL-R DL and OWL-R Full,
OWL 2 doesn't have this split?  Whether one RDF Graph owl2-entails
another or is owl2-consistent is fully defined for every RDF Graph?
