Wait, I think I completely misunderstood your problem.
You're not talking about Emacs Lisp code but about "other Lisp" code
(Common Lisp?), right?

In that case |rdf|:|someClass| might be fine, indeed, but in that case
also a syntax of "\"" for ?| sounds like the right thing to do (e.g. so
that forward-sexp will properly jump over the |)| symbol).

Might be a problem in smartparen.  What does it do that you dislike?
