For g4, how could eg:p (used in g0) NOT be in the domain of discourse?
(I want to say anything about anything)
It's (almost) cast in stone in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/
as
[[[
       if E contains   then add
rdf1   xxx aaa yyy .   aaa [rdf:type] [rdf:Property] .
]]]
    -- http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#rdf_entail

as is for g5
[[[
1. Add the following triple (which is true in any rdf-interpretation):

[rdf:type] [rdf:type] [rdf:Property] .
]]]
    -- http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-mt/#rdf_entail

Can someone PLEASE, yes PLEASE clarify?
