Of course not. The problem is that you come to a point where equivalence 
claims are utterly blurred by context. It a semantic resolution kind of 
thing.

The way I've always addressed this problem is by encouraging folks to 
put this kinds of claims in dedicated named graphs. Then you have the 
ability to negate or include. In addition, at least with Virtuoso (the 
product I oversee), you can apply owl:sameAs reasoning conditionally.

Ultimately, this whole thing has to be "horses for courses" compliant :-)
