One thing I can say here is that there is the trend that curators create rules (and check the outcome) instead of adding data themselves directly. Unfortunately OWL is insufficient for the kind of ugly rules they need to create; maybe SWRL will allow us to distribute at least part of the rules. Most of the rule-based annotation is done for microbial proteins at the moment, simpler as you don't have to deal with alternative splicing etc. Don't expect any neat rules that define what goes together anytime soon!
