FWIW, I'd say the HTML page.

What statements would you want to make about a namespace?

You mention the dc:creator of the namespace, but wouldn't it 
be more logical to make a statement about the schema, or vocabulary 
which defines that namespace?

I think the most I'd say about a namespace is that it is an 
identifier.
