Subject: Topalov style computer chess?

With Topalov showing that he will often exchange rooks for knights or bishops,
would a chess engine ever choose to make such sacrifices?  Are the piece values
locked at the core of the evaluation function, or would it be common to lower
the value of a rook bewlow that of a bishop or knight depending on the position?
 Specifically, would a computer ever play 18.Rxe4 as Topalov did against
Aronian?
