No, it's not impossible:

<head xmlns:xyz="http://example.com/"
      xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
  <link about="_:a" typeof="xyz:Period"
        rev="xyz:applicablePeriod" resource="" />
  <meta about="_:a" property="xyz:startDate"
        content="blah" datatype="rdf:XMLLiteral" />
  <meta about="_:a" property="xyz:endDate"
        content="blah" datatype="rdf:XMLLiteral" />
</head>

Though I'm not sure why you'd want those dates to be XMLLiterals.
xsd:date seems like a more appropriate datatype.
