If I understand your question correctly, you want to make sure that this "partial" is a valid value for this <Confirmation>? Nothing prevents the use of a more complete ontology in the model reference that describes more semantics about <Confirmation>, so that you perform more checks on its content. SAWSDL does not preclude any language for annotations (though OWL is used in the examples).
