I still fail to see why it is important for us to classify entailments.
It's just going to over complicate stuff needlessly.  If my agent knows the
rules for rdfs:subClass, than it can arrive at legitimate entailments, if it
doesn't know those rules, then  it can't. Why can't we just agree not to
bother to classify entailments?   What added benefit is gained by
classifying entailments?
