So just as a matter of interest, imagine a new syntax came along
that allowed literals in
subject position, could you not write a serialiser for it that turned
"123" length 3 .
Into
_:b owl:sameAs "123";
length 3.
?
So that really you'd have to do no work at all?
Just wondering....
Isn't owl:sameAs defined to be a relation between two
URI references?
In OWL-DL it is so restricted. Emphasis on the DL. So, don't use
owl:sameAs. Use your own propietary sameAs; it needn't even be
symmetric. We are after all taking RDF here, not OWL-DL. And in the
case under discussion (keeping Jeremy from losing thousands of dollars
or much restful sleep), nobody outside the company is ever going to
see the strange sameAs triples which protect his archaic but expensive
code from the wild syntactic deviance in the new RDF.

Even if not, it is symmetric and
would have the above imply {"123" owl:sameAs _:b .}
