Should the Guide suggest this as good practice?

More syntax problems.
Due to the single-ID constraint on RDF, it is probably a mistake to use
<owl:Thing rdf:ID="#OffDry">
<owl:sameClassAs rdf:resource="&vin;OffDry" />
</owl:Thing>
Also, this makes a URI resource like ffff##OffDry, which is probably not
what was intended.
Instead use
<owl:Class rdf:about="#OffDry">
<owl:sameClassAs rdf:resource="&vin;OffDry" />
</owl:Class>
Note, also the change from owl:Thing to owl:Class. This is needed to stay
within OWL/DL.
