Whoops. But its good that we both agree, I guess.

This covers the three conditions above, and it does not imply ds-entailment simply from inconsistency of the default graph alone.  (This relies on the idea that a missing graph is understood to be the empty graph, but I think we all assume this, right?)

It is monotonic in the usual senses, eg adding graphs to a dataset does not block any entailments. We could describe it as a constraint on any stronger (and genuine model-theoretic) semantics.
