I don't really understand this--how do you mean it was tried? Anyway, we're not talking about adding namespace processing to HTML. We're talking about using attributes that can be leveraged by the RDFa processor. HTML can cope with other attributes being added, and it just so happens that the attributes we're talking of adding include a colon in the name, which will have no effect on the HTML processing, but will provide a lot of useful information for those extracting RDF.
