The Microsoft XML processor supports the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 
specification and the Namespaces in XML working draft.
XML namespaces let developers qualify element names uniquely on the Web and thus avoid conflicts between elements with the same name.
Namespace support is integrated into native browsing of XML files, XSL, and the XML DOM programming interfaces. For descriptions of the specific methods that are supported, see the reference topics for the IXMLDOMDocument (DOMDocument) and IXMLDOMNode objects.
The "xml" and "xmlns" namespaces are special. The xmlns name on an attribute directs the XML parser to download the value of that attribute unless either a <!DOCTYPE ..> is declared for the document or the value of the attribute has the prefix "urn:". The value can refer only to a schema file (expressed in the XML Schema), and cannot refer to a document type definition (DTD) file.
