Question about rdf:first and validation error in enumerated datatype range

Hi all,

I have problems with a piece of an ontology where the validator 
complains about the object of the rdf:first property not being a 
resource. However it seems this is possible:

 From the enumerated data type example in the official documentation I 
get:


<owl:DatatypeProperty rdf:ID="tennisGameScore">
   <rdfs:range>
     <owl:DataRange>
       <owl:oneOf>
         <rdf:List>
            <rdf:first rdf:datatype="&xsd;integer">0</rdf:first>
            <rdf:rest>
              <rdf:List>
                <rdf:first rdf:datatype="&xsd;integer">15</rdf:first>
                <rdf:rest>
                  <rdf:List>
                    <rdf:first rdf:datatype="&xsd;integer">30</rdf:first>
                    <rdf:rest>
                      <rdf:List>
                        <rdf:first 
rdf:datatype="&xsd;integer">40</rdf:first>
                        <rdf:rest rdf:resource="&rdf;nil" />
                      </rdf:List>
                    </rdf:rest>
                  </rdf:List>
               </rdf:rest>
             </rdf:List>
           </rdf:rest>
         </rdf:List>
       </owl:oneOf>
     </owl:DataRange>
   </rdfs:range>
</owl:DatatypeProperty>

My ontology its similar (Protégé ouputi for the Range/Allowed values 
Datatype restriction:

  <rdfs:range rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#double"/>
   </owl:DatatypeProperty>

Finally, when I run the validator (vowlidator) I get the following 
errors (warnings) :

It seems to me mostly a validator's problem.
Any hints ?
