I think the use of "about" may be confusing  (at least to me).

I've got a vague feeling that there might be some benefit in

(a)  making explicit the quotational nature of the elements of a belief ,
in the way that the "(that <sentence>)" operator in IKL does.

(b) making explicit what may be inferred about what a Believer believes,
based on set of believed sentences.
Doxastic logics (logics about belief) have many of the same problems as
epistemic logics.

For example,
    if Fred believes that "P" and
       Fred believes that "Q"
   it may not be the case that Fred believes that "P and Q", even though
the latter is entailed by classical propositional logic.

CRM doesn't need the fancy stuff, but it might be good to make the rules a
little bit more explicit (this seems to be the direction the edit is
going).

Cyc has the useful concept of the propositional content of a work, which
denoted the microtheory containing all the propositions expressed by the
work.  This seems to be close to what is being described here.
