In DocBook 4.5, the <sgmltag> element has a class attribute with enumerated values. One of those enumerated values is 'namespace'. For some reason, the equivalent <tag> element in 5.0 is missing that value and a few others. I think it is an oversight, and I filed an RFE to see if it should get fixed. So I think this is how a namespace name should be marked up:

<tag class="namespace">http://docbook.org/ns/docbook</tag>

But it won't validate yet.

IMO, namespaces are a scoping construct. Did you mean to ask how to
identify namespaces (not namespace prefixes) syntactically?

I can identify elements, attributes but AFAIK I can't identify
namespaces semantically?

Any suggestions please?
