 Using QNames in attribute values is evil

 Why? XSD data types do that; why not RDF?

Because it requires the parser to inspect the attribute content. I
have enough problems with RDF's existing QName handling (concatenation
of ns uri + local part).

If we allowed rdf:dataType="xsd:double", what would dictate the xsd
prefix binding? Would I have to introduce the xsd namespace into my
document?
