I think I got as far as the N3 and stopped reading ;)

Seems OK to me.  Verbose ,but nearly as minimal as you can get in
RDF/XML for that form.

In general use of xml:base helps this.  I suspect Brian is focusing
on the use of rdf:ID, which gives a relative URI-reference that then
resolves relative to the document URI, if no other in-scope base URI
is given.  Either an xml:base somewhere or using rdf:about with an
absolute URI-ref, would fix that.
