That's the whole point of this discussion: Namespace URIs are
necessarily hard-coded in documents and applications. That's why many
of us want exactly one, persistent XHTML Namespace URI.
In this case, DMOZ and RPMFind did hard-code the Namespace URI before
RDF-Syntax went to REC, so technically, they're to blame; however, it
is unfortunately that the last-minute change robbed RDF of the chance
of having two very highly-visible and heavily-used conformant
implementations.
All the best,
