I think Andrei wanted to point out that a Henkin model doesn't have to 
contain all the subsets and this would prevent us to extend the model to 
a model of the theory in which typedef was done for one of the missing 
subsets. But I guess you are saying that the model should include at 
least those subsets that are definable by a formula.

Or have I misunderstood something?
