Intended by whom? ;-)

It corresponds to what I intend, and at least one of the RDFS
editors (Guha). It does not correspond to the way some
folks have interpreted the RDFS spec.
I should double-check that this is on the RDF IG issues list...
no time just now. Please remind me if you get a chance...

Er... substantively: the implication should go both ways, no?
	<x,y> in IR(?P) iff x in IC(?C)
No... I guess that would mean that these are total functions.
(sorry, no time to think carefully about it.)
