My question was, what is the namespace of this root element: is it
http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# because the
root element has an rdf prefix
or is it http://purl.org/rss/1.0/
The element is not in a namespace, nor does it have a namespace.
The *name* of the element has two parts: a namespace and a local part.
The *name* of the element has the namespace part
“http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#”; and the local part “RDF.”
There are many namespace declarations in scope for this element. Its
literal name, “rdf:RDF,” is interpreted with respect to the in-scope
declarations.
(I submit that this is arguably on-topic for this mailing list, as much
XSLT confusion arises from interpretation of namespaces. (-: )
