It's not as simple as that. NFSv3 is a stateless protocol, it doesn't associate state with open files. SFTP on the other hand has stateful opens. Yes, we could try to re-open files on reconnection but that will not always succeed (permissions changed, file removed, etc). To summarize, sshfs will never match NFS in correctness, it will always remain a somewhat hackish (but still useful) network filesystem.
