Re: effects of changes to RDF datatyping

Thanks for noticing this.  I was trying to be too damn clever by treating
'datatyped with respect to' as including a syntactic condition as 
well as a semantic one.

I have fixed the problem (and simplified the datatyping semantics) by
(1) removing the 'sufficient' condition on rdfs:Datatype and 
replacing it with a 'necessary' condition incorporated into the 
definition of D-interpretation
(2) abandoning the notion of 'datatyped with respect to' (in favor of 
the older 'D-interpretation', 'D-validity', etc, corresponding to the 
Webont useage of 'a datatype theory D')
(3) rewriting the text which discusses the sense in which a 'rdf:type 
rdfs:Datatype' triple can be thought of intuitively as a weak form of 
datatype declaration. This is now expressed differently and uses MAY.

This deals with the formal 'nonmonotonicity' issue.

I would welcome any comments on the text mentioned in (3) above, see
