2.2.1 Namespaces

This specification defines and references various XML namespaces using the mechanisms specified in [XMLNS]. Although this specification associates a specific XML namespace prefix for each XML namespace that is used, the choice of any particular XML namespace prefix is implementation-specific and not significant for interoperability.

The following table shows the standard XML namespaces used within these protocols and the aliases (prefixes) used in the remaining sections of this specification.
