Yep

- invoke the GetN3 bookmarklet, which you can install here:

see the triples? That's pretty good news.

I see:

- not convinced yet? go back to
http://ben.adida.net/index.xhtml

- paste this into the URL:
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].attributes[0].name)

Do you get a popup that says "xmlns:dc" ?

Yes

- it gets better, it looks like it's even in the DOM function call, try
pasting:

javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].getAttribute('xmlns:dc'))

I get "Null"

Unless I've made a weird mistake, it looks like the latest versions of
Safari and Firefox are happy to return the xmlns:* declarations as
normal attributes.

Great!
