This is the Namespaces spec lest we forget; there is no Right 
Thing for attribute prefixing. There is only an absence of 
specification. If you want to rail on something, please rail 
on XMLNS and not on RDF Core for cleaning up their own house. 

RDF attributes have been given unique names, not a lexical context
whereof we derive the use and not a we prefix it here we don't prefix it
there. Unless the resolution is technically defective or there is data
that should be brought to RDFCore's attention, I fail to see what's
astonishing.
