		Clearly this class contains the class of all Sylvester domains, and for example these two classes have the same intersection with the class of all domains with a one-sided Ore condition, since over such domains the matrices that are non-zerodivisors are the ones that become invertible in the usual skew field of fractions.
		Over a Sylvester domain every full matrix is regular, so the conditions of Theorem 5, and their duals, hold, so every flat module is spacial, hence locally free, and the kernel of any homomorphism between spacial modules is spacial, which says that the kernel of any homomorphism between flat modules is flat.
