Nice work.

"Recommended practice" suggests that lots of people are already 
including full text resources in their Linked Data offerings.  I don't 
think we're at that point [yet], though I would be delighted to be told 
I'm wrong.

Your approach seems perfectly reasonable to me, in the context of an 
RDF/XML serialization.  Presumably it might present problems in other 
serializations, e.g. Turtle, when you get to the point of offering more.

Another way of doing it might be to treat the article as a free-standing 
information resource, mint a URL for it, and create RDF metadata which 
describes this resource.  Your proxy software would have to resolve the 
URL and serve up the HTML when requested, but I assume that wouldn't be 
hard.

Best wishes,

Richard
