Another simpler example would be <property> rdfs:range foaf:Person. http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_Person says that "Something is a Person if it is a person". How can an RDF container of several persons be a person? If one can put a container where a container is not explicitly sanctioned by the semantics of the property, then I have missed something important.
