True; this was deliberate.

There might not, indeed, in a simple interpretation of an RDF graph 
which did not use the URIref rdf:type; that was true previously, of 
course. However, the RDF semantic conditions require that 
IEXT(I(rdf:type)) contain at least infinitely many pairs of the form 
<x, I(rdf:XMLLiteral)>, so require that I(rdf:type) be in IP; and the 
first semantic condition requires that IP be a subset of IR, in every 
rdf-interpretation. So the conditions do not break down for rdf- (or 
rdfs-) interpretations.

PS. It may not be appropriate to be discussing details of an 
editorial draft on rdf-comments while it is in a state of flux.
