You CAN use css like that in, Firefox,  Opera, Safari  and Chrome (the 
standards compliance ones I guess)  you just cant in *Internet 
Explorer*, I tested this rough example:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
    div[typeof~="http://example.com/Person"] { color : red }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div typeof="http://example.com/Person">Person</div>
</body>
</html>
