Thanks for the review Ivan, see responses below for those comments referring
to my sections.

Ok, I'll leave that one as is until there is further input

I have explicitly designated the following namespace URI:


            http://www.w3.org/ns/entailment/RDF-RIF-imports

I'm not sure who is responsible for setting up the namespace document, but
text from this section should be sufficient for the body of such a document.

Per the thread with you and Birte on this, I have not done anything since a
more fundamental change to the SPARQL syntax would be needed to facilitate
query-time specification of a ruleset to use (and this was ruled out early).

Changed.

I've added a new section: 7.2 Custom Rulesets for Common Vocabulary
Interpretations (Informative) that discusses this.
