Damn, I wasnt even aware we had an rdfs:Container class, why didn't 
anyone mention that before?? Never mind, I'll put it in. You are 
right, it would be handy.

I will put this in, but it strikes me as a damn silly thing to say, 
since it is like saying 'burble subproperty of babble'. Neither of 
these things actually are properties of anything, in fact, so how can 
one be a subproperty of the other? Ah well, never mind.

Right, but that is why we need to say it explicitly, to cover that case.

That still doesnt say what the domain and range are. BUt these 
trivial cases should be cleaned up.
