Defaulting namespaces

  • If no namespace prefix appears in a tagname, it is said to belong to the default namespace
    <jeff:table><!-- a jeff type table --></jeff:table>
<table>Some other kind of table</table>
  • The default namespace may be defined on the root element of the document
    <root xmlns="mutt.co.uk">
