Let me attempt to summarize your e-mail.

You believe that full URIs are less bad than CURIEs, but feel that full
URIs are still a bad solution for the semantic web. You are concerned
that if RDFa fails to garner decent adoption rates, that HTML5 will then
contain unnecessary cruft for supporting CURIEs.

Could you provide at least one alternate mechanism? The mechanism should
not use full URIs, and should addresses most, if not all, of the
problems solved by using full URIs?
