I had posted a similar idea here recently [1], but instead of thinking
of
using blank_predicate to link the xml nodes I created blank nodes and
had the xml nodes represent relationships.
That will work a lot better than your idea because if you have more than
one country such as:
<country>
Canada
<city>Montréal</city>
<city>Toronto</city>
<city>Vancouver</city>
</country>
<country>
France
<city>Paris</city>
<city>Fontainebleau</city>
</country>
you would end up with
country - (blank_predicate1) --> "Canada"
country - (blank_predicate1) --> "Paris"
which would be contradiction.
