did you mean rdfs:range?
it should be </owl:DatatypeProperty>
it still doesn't parse...
  trying Jena-2p1, latest jena2 at
  http://www.w3.org/2002/03owlt/editors-draft/WEB-INF/lib
  cwm v 1.129 ... loosing again...
this is not good; let's try

:tennisGameScore   a owl:DatatypeProperty;
                   rdfs:range [ owl:oneOf (0 15 30)].

and let's see if that together with

:x :tennisGameScore 15.

entails

:x :tennisGameScore [ a [ owl:oneOf (0 15 30)]].

OK, it does

agreed and so

rdfs:comment       a owl:AnnotationProperty;
                   rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource;
                   rdfs:range rdfs:Literal.
rdfs:isDefinedBy   rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource;
                   rdfs:range rdfs:Resource;
                   rdfs:subPropertyOf rdfs:seeAlso.
rdfs:label         a owl:AnnotationProperty;
                   rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource;
                   rdfs:range rdfs:Literal.
rdfs:seeAlso       a owl:AnnotationProperty;
                   rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource;
                   rdfs:range rdfs:Resource.

is OWL Full

I've tested that as well

:lessThan a owl:TransitiveProperty, owl:DatatypeProperty.
:size a owl:DatatypeProperty; rdfs:range xsd:decimal.
:a :size :sa.
:b :size :sb.
:c :size :sc.
:sa :lessThan :sb.
:sb :lessThan :sc.

entails

:a.:size :lessThan :c.:size.
