comments on current (6 Nov) draft of RDF MT document

I took at look at the RDF MT document to see what changes needed to be done
to the OWL MT and found a few problems.
1/ The change to make LV a subset of IR has not found its way into several
places in the document. In particular, there definition of a simple
interpretation mentions IR union LV.
2/ IP is not introduced in Section 3.1. Is IP a component of an RDF
interpretation? 
3/ The condition on IEXT in Section 3.1 does not follow from RDF M&S. It
only follows from RDFSS. In fact, rdf:Resource does not appear at all in
RDF M&S.
4/ The IEXT condition on rdf:Property in an rdf-interpretation is only
implied by the ICEXT condition on rdf:Property in rdfs-interpretations.
5/ The closure condition rdf1 is not valid in rdf-interpretations.
Therefore, the RDF entailment lemma is false.
6/ The RDFS closure rules are missing several classes, ranges, and
subclasses.
7/ The RDFS closure rules are incomplete, even if the above problems are
 fixed. Therefore, the RDFS entailment lemma is false.
 For example, rdf:type rdfs:domain foo . 
 a b c .
		RDFS-entails
		a rdf:type foo .
 because every resource has rdfs:Resource as a type, as I have pointed
 out before. 
 Also, a b c .
 RDFS-entails
	 a rdf:type rdfs:Class .
 because every resource is a subClassOf rdfs:Resource
 and, rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:domain foo .
	a b c . 
	RDFS-entails
	a rdf:type foo .
 because
