Generally, though, RDFa is based on reusing a set of attributes already existing in HTML5, and adding a few more.
Also, RDFa uses CURIEs which in turn use the XML namespace mapping context.
I would assume no differences in the DOM based on XHTML or HTML.
The assumption is incorrect. Please compare http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/xmlns-dom.html and http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/xmlns-dom.xhtml Same bytes, different media type.
I put together a very crude demonstration of JavaScript access of a specific RDFa attribute, about. It's temporary, but if you go to my main web page,http://realtech.burningbird.net, and look in the sidebar for the click me text, it will traverse each div element looking for an "about" attribute, and then pop up an alert with the value of the attribute. I would use console rather than alert, but I don't believe all browsers support console, yet.
This misses the point, because the inconsistency is with attributes named xmlns:foo.
