Apparently not. The OWL Working group is distinctly under the  
impression that this was not the case. And not surprisingly, as one  
thinks of "values" as the things one compares, and these are disjoint.

Would you mind pointing us to the text that makes this clear? It  
would be very helpful for our discussion.
