Okay, I've fixed that up;
https://github.com/dbs/schemabibex/blob/master/schema.org/ext/periodicals.htmlshould
now contain the *correct* domain / domainIncludes assertions.

On that note: should all of the domain assertions simply be domainIncludes
assertions? I used domain when there was only one valid value, but am not
sure if that's standard practice for schema.org RDFS.

Once again, my deep apologies for wasting your time, Dan (and the time of
everyone else on the list who might be puzzling over what they're seeing in
the current test build of the site).
