Amelia asked:
<a:b xmlns:a="b" xmlns:new="xyzzy"> <a:c result="nothing
happens">new:speak</a:c> </a:b>
Question: is the declaration "xmlns:new" used or unused in this
document? Amy!
I actually came across one usage of XML in which the namespace
declaration in
<a xmlns:v="http://www.x.com/"/>
was considered significant. They were using it, rather as some people
use processing instructions or comments, as a device for adding
information to an XML document (in this case, a kind of version
attribute) without having to modify the schema.
