based on my experience with the
http://www.agfa.com/w3c/euler/rdfs-rules.n3
(in concert with http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/)
and the (as yet evolving)
http://www.agfa.com/w3c/euler/owl-rules.n3
I havn't found any layering/semantics problem
I completely miss the point why
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/ sh/couldn't evolve

I also think that http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/
is a clear and unambiguous syntax and reasonable w.r.t.
verbosity and the "list" issue is in progess
