Re: please keep Equality in the rule conclusion

FWIW, (personal opinion...no group opinion) for doing owl:sameAs we don't need equality in rule-heads...
my guess is that for your use cases it is sufficient to axiomatise owl:sameAs, at least 
for pD*, ORL2RL that's all you need...

i.e. you can write the axiomatisation all in RIF without equality in ruleheads 
(not sure whether these rules are exactly what is in pD*, OWL2RL from the top of 
my head now... just to exemplify):

{S1 P O} :-  {S1 owl:sameAs S . S P O }
{S P1 O} :-  {P1 owl:sameAs P . S P O }
{S P O1} :-  {O1 owl:sameAs O . S P O }
{Y owl:sameAs X} :-  {X owl:sameAs Y.}
{Y owl:sameAs Z} :-  {X owl:sameAs Y . Y owl:sameAs Z}
{S owl:sameAs S} :-  { S P O }
{P owl:sameAs P} :-  { S P O }
{O owl:samaAs O} :-  { S P O }
