Looking at the Tabulator view here

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/release/tabulator/0.8/tab?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fiandavis.com%2F2010%2F303%2Ftoucan

I did notice that the Tabulator generates the two triples:

<http://iandavis.com/2010/303/toucan> 
<http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/ajaw/ont#mentionsClass> 
<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Document> .
<http://iandavis.com/2010/303/toucan> 
<http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/ajaw/ont#mentionsClass> 
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Ramphastidae> .

Which leads me to wonder whether either you have a very erudite toucan there, 
or Tabulator may be exhibiting some element of confusion?

Though, yes, the mentionsClass property has domain rdfs:Resource (rather than 
some:Document), so there is no inference that the toucan is-a document,  though 
I do note the human-readable rdfs:comment for that property says

"This document mentions the following class"
