Thus far, I have only one bit of hearsay evidence (from you) that there are any users of any OWL profile who make routine good use of non-distinguished variables. I would be interested to know more about such users. WRT non-distinguished variables, this aligns SPARQL with the dominant form of rules for OWL, i.e., DL Safe rules, which is also a good.
