A small document that we wrote about this in April of this year can be found at: http://sesame.aidministrator.nl/doc/rdf-interpretation.html Chapter 4 is about the rdfs:domain and rdfs:range properties. I hope this will convince you that disjuction is the way to go, even though it has some drawback from a modelers point-of-view.
