Looks good.

My main reservation is the restriction to not have rdf:first, rdf:rest, 
rdf:nil in the rule conclusions since that prevents conformant 
processors supporting construction of RDF lists, even though they can 
construct RIF lists. Can we say that this vocabulary is permissible in 
conclusions so long as the entailed RDF graph meets the restrictions on 
well-formedness of RDF lists?

Minor editorial comments:

o The term "RDF Name" used to describe object values isn't one I'm 
familiar with and isn't explicitly defined. Perhaps just say "IRI, RDF 
literal"?

o The ∈ doesn't display for me in Firefox (used in a couple places 
when describing the profile).

Agreed.
