Hi Jeff.

In response to your comment above,the WG has resolved that to attempt 
to define such a proper sub-language is beyond our charter and our 
timescale. However, we have resolved

http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfs-layered-subset

that this issue should be classified as postponed, meaning that it 
will be on the agenda of any WG which considers RDF in the future.

Please let us know if this adequately responds to your comment, CCing 
www-rdf-comments@w3.org.

Thanks.

Pat

PS> We can continue the more extended debate on another thread if you wish.
