Oops, sorry, should have said "those that know the *RDFS* rules of
entailment".  Follow?  Hence my RDFS media type suggestion, as it
communicates that there are different entailments at work (i.e. makes
the message more self-descriptive).

I'm currently reading through the MT, specifically the RDFS entailment
lemma.  It seems relevant.  Now, if only I had the "for dummies"
version, I'd be all set. 8-/
