I only just noticed the way this working.  My naïve model of how this worked was that the XSLT produced an RDF/XML document and that same document references in that document would be references to RDF/XML document, not the source XML document.

I was surprised when I noticed what is actually happening.  Hence the suggestion that it be spelled out.

Right.  And that's what we care about.  I'm still trying to figure out the art of not overspecifying in a first spec.

Maybe.
