There is useful information about XML Namespaces at:

Whenever I looked into XSLT stylesheets with namespace declarations I see
ALWAYS a scheme like

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

or more general

xmlns:foo="http://www.somedomain.com/foobarlabel";

This is somehow confusing because the namespace has nothing to do with a WWW 
Hyperlinks/URLs.
From my point fo view it is just a tag or label which could be named

xmlns:foo="aabbccdd"

as well
Or is there somewhere a specs which requires a "http...." declaration

What is the reason why all the coders use "http...." URL like namespace names ?
