IIRC, XSB is based on so-called well-founded semantics for logic  
programming languages (WFS), which does not in general guarantee that  
a consistent set of sentences has a model in which every sentence  
receives a truth value; i.e., negation isn't guaranteed to be  
classical. I don't think this affects the point your were making.    (02)
