Namespaces
seem
to be on the Internet
What does
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/"
mean?
There is a schema there? (No, there isn’t)
There is documentation there? (Not always and not necessarily)
The processor performs any lookup or retrieval? (Nope)
You have to be online for your system to work? (Not at all)
Actually, the namespace URI is nothing more than a label
