> Hi!

> Few small questions about namespaces: 
> 1. What do they actually look like?
> 2. It must be part of some document, so in what format? 
> 3. A small example would be great.
> 
> Reason for these questions is simple: 
> I have to use xslt and xml in closed network with no connections
> to for example w3c or any else.
