Proposal:
The existing Nodes LegalSource and Reference are, according to the Vocabulary, to be used only for referring to external approved legal documents or fragments thereof, and so cannot be used to define local identifiers for other sorts of external sources, e.g. a Rule in another LegalRuleML document.
Rather than use internal xml:base attributes to change the base IRI for a relative IRI reference, and especially to avoid using non-IRI identifiers as if they were relative IRI references, it is better to create new elements, similar to the existing ones, for the purpose of defining such local identifiers.
