No, as I said, I do NOT agree with that. If the extend of validity of a 
basename characteristic assignment is the scope {Dutch} then (at least I)
draw the conclusion that it is NOT valid outside that scope. As you say,
'We are open only on Monday' implies that 'we are closed on Tuesday'.

My point was, that 'economie' is NOT a valid basename for the topic
if NOT *{Dutch}* applies, but that this says nothing about the validity
of the potential validity of 'economie' as a mere name.
