Re: xmlns:XXX error in HTML5? (ISSUE-126)

I can support this, assuming that RDFa + HTML5 continues to support an 
initial context that has all of the interesting vocabularies already 
declared.

Usage of @xmlns:XXX is not called out explicitly as an error in HTML5. But it is an error due to the fact that HTML5 does not treat @xmlns:XXX specially; it is an attribute that is not defined for HTML5. As a consequence, using @xmlns:XXX is an error just as using @foo is an error because @foo has not beed defined neither as a global attribute nor as a local attribute for any particular element.
