All I wanted to express is that there is
a difference between the general case of
  [ :p1 :o1; :p2 :o2 ] .
i.e.
  _:si :p1 :o1; :p2 :o2 .
and
  _:s1 rdf:first :o1; rdf:rest :o2 .
  _:s2 owl:intersectionOf :l2 .
  _:s3 owl:unionOf :l3 .
  _:s4 owl:disjointUnionOf :l4 .
  _:s5 owl:oneOf :l5 .
in the sense that in the latter case
  _:si is unambiguously identified
and so we can take it as a funtional term
and avoid all the power/grief of
Skolem funtions in conclusions
which are otherwise needed in the CNF
(Clause Normal Form) rewrite of
rules with existentials in conclusions.
