The prose specification does not include any examples of prefixed usage 
(because we were trying not to confuse our principal audience), but the 
RDFa attributes are defined as an XHTML M12N-conforming Module.  Such 
modules can be defined to export their attribute names in a qualified 
form as well as a non-qualified form.  So yes, I am sure that the 
implementation is built that way - mostly because I built it [1].  
Moreover, XHTML M12N defines this sort of usage in its conformance 
definition [2] - in particular clause 5 therein.
