No, it's not what all existing host languages do.
Somewhat annoyingly, OpenDocument Format 1.2 puts the RDFa attributes
in the {http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml} namespace.

Yep - I'd agree with that. I'd suggest that host languages *SHOULD*
keep them in the empty namespace, but it makes sense to provide a
namespace they can use if need be.
However, host languages must pick one and stick with it. Putting @href
in one namespace, @prefix in another and @about in the empty namespace
would be horrible!
