The graph generated from the example by an RDFa processor would not
contain an indication that #me is an HTML element, no. However another
graph, say, from a document outline generator, may contain something
like:

 <#me> a xhtml:Div ;
       xhtml:textContent "yada yada" .

It would be a perfectly sensible couple of triples to generate from the
given example. Merging the RDFa and document outline graphs would result
in a contradiction. (At least, it's a contradiction if we assume that
people and HTML elements are disjoint classes.)
