If you allow owl:sameAs with its intended OWL Full semantics, you can do


<rdf:RDF>
   <rdf:Description>
       <owl:sameAs rdf:parseType="Literal">
              XML Literal Here
       </owl:sameAs>
       <eg:p1 rdf:resource="v1"/>
       <eg:p2 rdf:resource="v2"/>
       <eg:p3>etc</eg:p3>
   </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

Literals not being allowed in subject position is a strange syntactic 
limitation. (Not allowing literals as a subject to a property, a 
semantic restriction, might have made more sense)
