I'm assuming that you mean prefix=""? If so, unfortunately it doesn't. While we
are recommending that people not use xmlns: when designing documents for HTML5
and HTML4, the fact is that some people may still do so and in order to ensure
that Infoset-based RDFa processors have a simple code-path to follow, we must
ensure that the xmlns: values are translated correctly from an HTML5 DOM into
an Infoset.

However, as stated in a previous response to Henri - the problem isn't
restricted to RDFa-based documents. It applies to any XHTML document that is
served as text/html that contains xmlns declarations.
