James is quite right.  The offending spec is RDF.  Dr. Jonathan Borden has 
been carrying on a spirited campaign to get this fixed, but as of now, that's 
the way it is, and the former permissiveness of expat NS separators will need 
to be restored for proper RDF support, which is important enough, IMO, to 
warrant the  sale of guns with bent muzzles.
