Am I wrong? Right, but *pure* Horn operates over a domain of individuals only, so only needs the rif namespace. . . . > > ...

What does that do for us that rdf:RDF does not do? rif:RIF <http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Core/Specification> has its own namespace to support various kinds of rules including Production Rules, which need their native XML serialization for optimal XML-industry-strength rule interoperability. . . . -- Harold
