As do I - in terms of the triples generated, @href and @src can always
be directly replaced with @resource and @about, so there is no reason to
permit them on any element that HTML5 does not already permit them on.

I don't see why the XHTML+RDFa 1.0 DTD permits them - I imagine it must
have been an XHTML2 influence.

RDFa processors should still allow those non-conforming uses to generate
triples as per usual, but validators should report errors when they're
seen.
