If you want to include RDFa into HTML, you have to change the HTML DTD 
anyway. So why not add a namespace prefixes-URIs mapping attribute?

<div ns-mapping="dcterms http://purl.org/dc/terms/ audio 
http://purl.org/media/audio#" ... >
...
</div>

This looks like schemaLocation attribute in XML Schema, here being a 
list of tuples (prefix and URI). However this approach does not work 
with default namespaces.
