This definitely sounds like a problem to me

<owl:Class rdf:ID="owl:xxx" />

I think that either the above should not be in DL, or we should fix 
the rules w/respect to Full (allowing this in Full).  My preference 
is to allow these things in DL and Full, but if we don't, we should 
be consistent -- I believe that either of these are with past WG 
decisions but that what Peter cited (all RDF documents are in Owl 
Full; all DL documents are also in Full) is preferred based on past 
WG decisions.
