Default Vocabulary for datatype: datatypeLibrary attribute

Hi RDFa WG,

We use only one datatype library in @datatype very often. Also in many 
cases it is just XML Schema Datatypes. I propose @datatypeLibrary to 
declare datatype vocabluary to use in @datatype. It is something like 
@vocab and very similar to RELAX NG datatyping [1] For instance:
<div vocab="http://dbpedia.org/property/" 
datatypeLibrary="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#" 
about="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Albert_Einstein">
   <span property="dateOfBirth" datatype="date">1879-03-14</span>
</div>
Instead of:
<div prefix="dbp: http://dbpedia.org/property/
xsd: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#" 
about="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Albert_Einstein">
   <span property="dateOfBirth" datatype="xsd:date">1879-03-14</span>
</div>
