Hi Folks,

Consider this instance document element:

<Publisher xmlns="http://www.book.org">Wrox Press</Publisher>

Which is the correct terminology:

(a) The Publisher element belongs to the http://www.book.org namespace

(b) The Publisher element is in the http://www.book.org namespace

(c) The Publisher element has a namespace property, whose value is "http://www.book.org"

(d) The element has a name property with value "Publisher" and a namespace property with value "http://www.book.org"

(e) None of the above (please provide the correct terminology)

/Roger
