The connections between nonmonotonic reasoning and belief
revision are well-known. A central problem in the area of
nonmonotonic reasoning is the problem of default entailment, i.e.,
when should an item of default information representing "if A is
true then, normally, B is true" be said to follow from a given set of
items of such information. Many answers to this question have
been proposed but, surprisingly, virtually none have attempted
any explicit connection to belief revision. The aim of this paper is
to give an example of how such a connection can be made by
showing how the lexicographic closure of a set of defaults may be
conceptualised as a process of iterated revision by sets of
sentences. Specifically we use the revision process of Nayak.
