;-) You are right.

For the OWL WG conformance tests, all tests are classified as either
direct or RDF based semantics and AFAIK there are some OWL WG tests
that have, for the same test, different results for the two semantics,
but I don't have any off the top of my head since I usually just run
the direct semantics tests. These tests check, for example, for
entailment between ontologies and could most likely be rephrased as
SPARQL queries. If it is important, I can try and find a concrete
example.
