RE: question on XML namespace names

[Anne Thomas Manes]

The URI in a namespace declaration is simply a name. It isn't required to
point to anything, and you should never expect that the URI is resolvable.
But quite often it does resolve -- typically to a metadata document, such as
XSD, DTD, WSDL, etc.

Subject: question on XML namespace names

Is anyone on this listserv using namespace names to retrieve W3C .xsd or
.dtd documents?

To be more specific,  if you are using fully qualified names for XML
namespaces as the standard seems to recommend, what kind of object lives at
the specified address:  (A)  nothing  (B)  html documentatation (C) W3C .xsd
or .dtd document  (D) other (please specify)

I wrote an article about XML namespaces which answers that and
associated questions.

Several people have told me they like the article, so I think you
will find it helpful.
