It doesn't seem quite right indeed, but this is more or less the best 
you can do. See http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/ section 8, 
which recommends the same approach you have taken.

We apparently have to live with the fact that some RDF graphs can not 
be serialized in XML (or at least not in RDF/XML).
