RDF Schema media type

Hi,
I believe that RDF Schema needs its own media type.
Consider the following RDF/RDFS in N3;
:myProperty rdfs:domain :myClass .
:some-object :myProperty :some-other-object .
If those triples (in XML) were sent as application/rdf+xml, then the
information being communicated is only those triples. While it's
possible that a recipient may know RDFS and be able to infer that
":some-object rdf:type :myClass .", this is not part of the information
being communicated by this message.
In order for a message sender to send that information in such a way
that it is declaring that it requires RDF Schema inferencing (so that
the need to infer the rdf:type triple is known to be implied by the
message itself), a different media type is required.
Thanks.
Mark.
