metadata content

Hello HTML5 WG,

in the section about the element 'head' is noted:
"The head element collects the document's metadata."
and:
"Content model:
One or more elements of metadata content, ..."
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#the-head-element

About what 'metadata content' is, it is noted:
"Elements from other namespaces whose semantics are 
primarily metadata-related (e.g. RDF) are also metadata 
content."
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#metadata-content

I would only like to know, if I interprete this correct, that
authors finally can put metadata elements from other
namespaces like RDF in the head element of a HTML5 
document without any conflicts?
If correct, this will be indeed a nice feature and progress 
of HTML5 compared to what is possible in HTML4.
Will this be managed by possible validators too? 
Currently for XHTML1.0 and XHTML1.1, if done, this results 
(only) in problems with the DTD limitations, not present 
anymore in HTML5, similar to what happens with related 
content of metadata in SVG 1.1 in contrast to SVG tiny 1.2.
