Same here, +1

Hm. Yes, this seems to be a consequence which is a bit disagreeable 
indeed:-(

In OWL, I can of course use owl:import in my WHERE clause (Birte, this 
is all right, isn't it?) which is not that bad, the user has to make 
things explicit. But this does not help the RDFS case.

It also raises an issue on the RIF side. RIF rules cannot be expressed 
in RDF. How would one add RIF rules to an entailement regime if we 
wanted to cover RIF? It might be a showstopper for that case:-(
