I'm sorry, I can't understand what you are asking here.  rdf:nodeID
is an attribute used in the RDF/XML syntax, it doesn't appear in the
Semantics document or RDF model.

It isn't a hack, it allows you to give graph-local names so that you can
write down triples with blank nodes in RDF/XML - it would be the same
in any alternative serialization of such a graph.

Sorry again, I don't understand what you are asking about "requiring"
the use of "syntax constructs".
