That may be according to most (or all known) implementations, but I
don't think that's true for the DL-based semantics of OWL 2. From [1]:
* \Delta_I is a nonempty set called the object domain.
* \Delta_D is a nonempty set disjoint with \Delta_I called the data
domain ....
* \cdot^C is the class interpretation function ....
* (owl:Thing)^C = \Delta_I
* \cdot^{DT} is the datatype interpretation function ....
* (rdfs:Literal)^{DT} = \Delta_D
Since \Delta_I and \Delta_D are disjoint, then (owl:Thing)^C and
(rdfs:Literal)^{DT} are disjoint.
