RE: Re:XPathAPI: How to associate namespaces

Torsten Schlabach asked:

Is there any rule stating that a certain namespace URI (i.e.
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml has to use a specific prefix
i.e. xhtml)? Are namespace URIs sort
of "free form" anyway or where can I find the rules how to for example
construct my own namespace. There should be a way to avoid
conflicting prefixes,
shouldn't it?

Namespaces prefixes are purely aliases for the namespace URIs, which are the
REAL names of these namespaces. You can associate the prefix xhtml with the
namespace URI "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; if you want, but you could
choose any other prefix.
