I'm baffled by this claim.

I co-edit [1] and edit the rdf/xml syntax specification.  [1] defines
a profile of rdf/xml, which remains an rdf/xml documents.  Like RSS
1.0.  It does use RDF because it is RDF.

[2] are guidelines and don't define an XML format but suggest
techniques.  Your comments about comparing element names is
ambiguous; doe you mean the XML element or the Dublin Core Element?
Either way, it infers nothing to say that [1] is not RDF.
