I said somthing like that once and Graham Klyne pointed out my error to me.
If I have some HTML containing say:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://example.org/something#foo">
...
The issue here is about what http://example.org/something#foo names. The
meaning of this is not dependent on the mimetype of the referring document,
e.g. text/html, but on the mime-type of the *retrieved* document. The RDF
specs are saying that for determining the RDF meaning of this uriref, it is
the meaning that would be assigned by retrieving a document of mime-type
application/rdf+xml.
Embedding in a document of mime-type text/html does not affect this.
