The problem here is to define what attributes your XML will use to
define the RDFa hooks... what attributes will define a new subject,
the predicate, and how you define the object...

Because the XML is using a local namespace, it will be unrecognizable
for any client... however, given you define those attributes (or via
new elements), you should be able to embed this RDFa in the HTML more
easily too...
