>(but it is less interesting this time round!).

that's a nice reasoning hmm...
so you would make it impossible to further make
the range of a property sharper (doing so would
make the kb inconsistent)
I believe that this is not following from AS&S
at least I can't conclude it from such piece as
  if E is rdfs:range
  then for x element of IOP, y element of IOC U IDC
  <x,y> element of EXTi(Si(E)) iff
    <w,z> element of EXTi(x) -> z element of CEXTi(y)
which we interpret as
  {?x rdfs:range ?y. ?w ?x ?z} => {?z rdf:type ?y}.
  {?z rdfs:subClassOf ?y. ?x rdfs:range ?z} => {?x rdfs:range ?y}.

so I still think that we can't call the proposed testcase
