This is certainly a possibility, but it does mean that it's
impossible
to
... to build a RDFa implementation in javascript, as javascript is
handed a DOM. I don't know if javascript implementations of RDFa is
something that's considered important.
I know of at least three Javascript implementations of RDFa parsers
that each use the DOM:
* The Operator add-on for Firefox
* Jeni Tennison's rdfQuery library, based on jQuery
* Ben Adida's implementation
<http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/impl/js/20080817/>
If, as you say, RDFa implementations "can't" use the DOM, it appears
this is more of a "theoretical can't" rather than a "practical can't".
