Not exactly, it knows some things about Namespaces but not enough to
specify semantic matching - I think it's sort of weird that. Things
that it knows that I can remember:

1. : should be used in definition of namespaces.

2. XML or xml is reserved. I don't think xmlns is defined as a
namespace declaration anywhere but it seems sort of implied.
