It does meet those objectives.
I fear my original post had some bad arguments. The main reason for relative
addressing is keeping stuff up to date. Instead of entering my mail address
in every system that uses RDF those systems can link to the resource
containing my mail address. Thus I will only have to update my mail address
in one location, much easier.
