Sure...if it also conforms to the syntax for http URIs (eg ""http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ abs_path [ "?" query ]]")

And also check for other URI schemes: http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html

I am not sure if it is an error/forbidden/bad-practice to define an XML namespace prefix as the same as a URI scheme name?

The RDFa spec uses CURIES, which are "similar" to Qnames, and provide some processing notes:
