You are correct that in the xmlns namespace definitions in the xml <
http://viaf.org/viaf/231063554/rdf.xml> references a namespace that is no
longer used in the output.  There is a single commented out reference to '
viaf:NameAuthorityCluster' in the output.

This post covers the change that deprecated the use of this:
http://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2011/04/changes-to-viafs-rdf.html

From the other xmlns definitions it can be seen that use is made of void,
owl, foaf, skis-xl, skis, RDA ElementsGR2, FRBRentitiesRDA to describe VIAF
resources.

I'll pass this on to some of the team behind VIAF to see if they have
further comment
