> I need to explain XML namespaces to several marketing people

think phone numbers

my phone number is 1234-5678

in a different state though, this phone number may belong to somebody else

so, i put a code in front of it to distinguish it from same numbers in
other states

555-1234-5678 (me)
556-1234-5678 (somebody else)

that code would be a namespace prefix in xml terms

somewhere i'd have to define where and what 555 really is. that'd be
my namespace declaration.

it's not exactly the same, but very similar to the concept of xml namespaces
hth,
claus.
