WG: Cases in the new specification of RDF Schema

> </rdf:Property>

And this, but it probably doesnt mean what you think it does. It would
make anything that was in the domain of 'a' a member of #A and #C.

My RDF Schema should assert that the domain of 'a' must contain only
members of #A and #C, and the range of 'a' must contain only members of
#B and #D.

No, you need to go to OWL for that.

i.e. I can use the RDF Schema without solicitude that this transitive
effect will NOT occur.
