IMHO an emphatic NO.
RDF is about constructing structured descriptions where "Subjects" have
Identifiers in the form of Name References (which may or many
resolve to
Structured Representations of Referents carried or borne by Descriptor
Docs/Resources). An "Identifier" != Literal.
If you are in a situation where you can't or don't want to mint an HTTP
based Name, simply use a URN, it does the job.
It does look like you're already using literal subjects in OpenLink
Virtuoso though:
http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/rdfsparql.html
SQL>SELECT *
FROM <people>
WHERE
{
?s foaf:Name ?name . ?name bif:contains "'rich*'".
}

Were is the Literal Subject in the query above?
bif:contains is a function/magic predicate scoped to Literal Objects.
<people> != "people".
Let's consider the following inequality:
people != people
if we imposed different interpretations on both sides，then we certainly
could conclude the first 'people' is non-equivalence to the second
'people' in semantic. Semantic of things is not reflected in the literal
meaning, but is reflected in interpreter's behavior and its impact on
the environment/world.
my two cents.

What am I missing?
