Re: missing (and incorrect) RDFS axioms

Anyone on the WG, do y'all agree with Peter at @@@ below?? If someone 
says yes and nobody objects,  I will put these entailments into the 
MT. You have until the end of Monday.

Hmmm, not sure I agree. I'm perfectly happy for a property to have no 
domain or range. The strengthened OWL rules for d&r will insert the 
rdfs:Resource ranges automatically in any case, given the rdfs4 rules 
and a bit of OWL reasoning.

I agree about that, it needs tidying up and we should go one way or 
the other. My own preference would be to just not mention vacuous 
domains and ranges at all.

Other lines below have comments.

follows from  (x a CMP -> x subprop rdfs:member) and domain of subproperty.

consequence of above and new rule 11

I don't like the above. I don't think seeAlso *is* a property; if it 
is, what's in its property extension??

I wasn't aware of that subproperty connection: is there a source for that?

Invalid, given the restriction on subClassOf to classes. The old rule 
7 is correct.
