intuitive and the 104 testcases that we use (for RDFS, OWL, LOG, etc)
are not affected in their provability (ie 94 cases with proof found)

I can't see why;
haven't found a problem proving that

ex:I owl:intersectionOf _:l.
_:l rdf:first rdfs:Class.
_:l rdf:rest rdf:nil.

entails

rdfs:Class a ex:I.

(that is assuming such facts as
owl:Class rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Class.
owl:Thing rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:Resource.
owl:differentFrom rdfs:domain rdfs:Resource.
owl:differentFrom rdfs:range rdfs:Resource.
owl:intersectionOf rdfs:domain rdfs:Class.
owl:intersectionOf rdfs:range rdf:List.
...)

BUt I still prefer to just have rdfs:Class, rdf:Property, rdfs:Resource
