You're pulling my leg right?

Do you really think the size difference is so insignificant they could really be considered to be a part of the same standard as the 35mm format? The APS-C sized sensor has half the surface area, and the performance between the two is dramatically different.

And besides that, there's a reason they're called APS-C sensors. It's because they're the same size as the APS-C film. The only way you could consider an APS-C sensor to be a part of the same standard as 35mm format would be if you were to consider the whole of the APS-C format to be a part of the same standard.
