You should consider digging through the history. The XML folks were the
ones who weren't as you put it, 'smart enough'  (XML namespaces) and the
RDF folks weren't any smarter given they went along with the XML folks
anyway (RDF/XML). The ensuing RDF/XML workaround (fragids as
punctuation) doesn't work and raises a bunch of other issues related to
what # actually identifies on the HTML Web. There's no general case
solution to this, it's architectural, which is why it gets kicked up the
W3C TAG periodically.

cheers
