Don't get me wrong. I still PERSONALLY think that HTML5 should
support the general case of xmlns, at least in its XHTML5 personality.
But we don't need it. If it is there, an RDFa Core processor will use
it. If it went away, we wouldn't notice ;-)

I actually think ISSUE-41 is completely orthogonal to the direction
RDFa is going. RDFa Core defines @prefix and effectively deprecates
xmlns. We don't care about namespaces. We never did. We just
needed a way to map one string to another for shorthand vocabulary
terms that are easily dereferenced on the web.
OK, thank you for that update. Well, I was a aware ofre @prefix. But I
thought that you still were interested in xmlns support in HTML5. So it
seems that the change proposals w.r.t. to ISSUE-41 do not need to
consider RDFa, then. Sorry, tried to pay the bill without the host -
never a good idea ...
