In my recollection, the range of rdfs:Resource was put in
italics precisely because we considered it to be the default
range of every property; we simply wanted to record this default
in the human-readable document. Yes, I agree that the
Introduction to that document should have said this explicitly.
:-(
I believe we even discussed declaring the rdfs:Resource range
formally but didn't see the point in doing so. Do people in
this discussion thread think it be helpful to do so?
