Re: schema.org as it could be

Yes, and given that this is a desired feature, I tried to describe a good way 
of handling it.

Adding a version of this to OWL DL would not be difficult, in my opinion.  In 
fact, simple variationscould be done strictly at the data model level, as far 
as I can tell.

I should have said instead that I consider the design choice to allow text as a value even if a typed entity is expected clearly a feature and not a bug in schema.org, since a Web vocabulary must empower site owners to expose as much data structure and data semantics as they can with the available resources and incentives, and simply raising the bar of consistency does not necessarily improve the state of affairs.
