undeclared prefix in @datatype

State:
OPEN
Product:
RDFa
Raised by:

Description:
Richard Cyganiak:

"""
Now I wonder what a conformant RDFa parser should do when confronted  
with an undeclared namespace in @datatype? Ignore the triple? Ignore  
the @datatype? Assume the empty string as prefix URI? Halt and catch  
fire?

potential resolution:

"""
Yes, thank you.  However, if that value ends up being a non-CURIE, the 
rules I cited apply and it should be treated as "", which then means it 
is a literal (not an XMLLiteral).
