In OWL-DL it is so restricted. Emphasis on the DL. So, don't use
owl:sameAs. Use your own propietary sameAs; it needn't even be
symmetric. We are after all taking RDF here, not OWL-DL. And in the
case under discussion (keeping Jeremy from losing thousands of dollars
or much restful sleep), nobody outside the company is ever going to
see the strange sameAs triples which protect his archaic but expensive
code from the wild syntactic deviance in the new RDF.
