Re: Proposed change to the OWL-2 Direct Semantics entailment regime

I repeat myself: *any* OWL-QL or OWL-EL implementation by design incorporates BGPs with OWL Direct Semantics in the manner I'm proposing. Not having BGPs in the manner I'm proposing would force them not to adopt SPARQL for their systems.
