That's not something you can derive from the Namespaces spec. cf

	Myth #4: Unprefixed attribute names are in XML namespaces
	http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/03/08/namespaces/myth1.html

It's something the RDF spec could layer on top of the Namespaces spec,
but I don't suggest we do so; I suggest only that

	<rdfPrefix:tagName attName="...">
is treated as
	<rdfPrefix:tagName rdfPrefix:attName="...">

where rdfPrefix is any prefix bound to the RDF namespace name.
