OK, now I think I grasp what you're arguing. All you have to do 
is understand that:

RDF Does Not Deal With QNames

The creators should have been thinking of URIs for their terms, 
not QNames.  Here's another maxim:

RDF Has No Concept Of Namespace

which solves a lot. Predicates are URIs alone, their "namespace" 
is nowhere to be found.
