Section 2.1.2 of the Conformance document ("Datatype Map Conformance")
requires:

  "In OWL 2, semantic conditions are defined 
  with respect to a datatype map [OWL 2 Specification]. 
  This MUST be either the OWL 2 Datatype map [OWL 2 Specification], 
  or an extension of the OWL 2 Datatype map 
  to include additional datatypes."

I understand this to define "datatype map conformance" for all profiles of
OWL 2, including RL, is this right? 

But if an RL reasoner is not allowed to have certain datatypes from the OWL
2 Datatype map in its datatype map ("the following predefined OWL 2
datatypes MUST NOT be used in OWL 2 RL"), how then can any RL reasoner ever
be "datatype map conformant"?
