If there were to be any statements about an entry in the facet list 
being an rdf:Property, then any resource in the list would logically be 
  an rdf:Property; OWL is not a schema in the sense that data can really 
be validated against it to find contradictory information.  Is that 
rdfs:Class in the list?  Infer it's also a property, /not/ that it 
doesn't belong in the list.  Since this tiny ontology concerns declaring 
facets, that's all it provides for - :Facets.

At any rate, the modelling's imperfect, due perhaps to the modeller 
(me), perhaps to the peculiarities of the model and language. 
Refinements are welcome.
