If you mean Namespaces in XML, then I agree.

I'm somewhat indifferent about your choices but the examples in 

 http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/#ex-Sharing
 http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/#ex-NonBinary 
 
use:

 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
 
and seem to assume that the default namespace applies to the 
RDF-specific attributes.
