False; here's the test case:
============
consider a similar example:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="Jenny">
<foo:age>10</foo:age>
</rdf:Description>
<rdf:Description rdf:about="Film">
<foo:title>10</foo:title>
</rdf:Description>
Though the title of the film and the age of Jenny are both written as an
[...]
The formal definition of this question is whether, given the second of
the
RDF fragments above, entails (implies) the following (expressed in
n-triples):
<jenny> foo:age _:l .
<film> foo:title _:l .

We have several pieces of code that one can test using this
test case (cwm, euler, some graph matching code that
Jan uses, Jena, others?). The WG owes the community a
clear yes/no answer to whether that entailment holds.
