58. Does the XML namespaces recommendation define anything except a two-part naming system for element types and attributes?
No.
This is a very important point and a source of much confusion, so we will repeat it:
THE XML NAMESPACES RECOMMENDATION DOES NOT DEFINE ANYTHING EXCEPT A TWO-PART NAMING SYSTEM FOR ELEMENT TYPES AND ATTRIBUTES.
In particular, they do not provide or define any of the following:
*
A way to merge two documents that use different DTDs.
*
A way to associate XML namespaces and schema information.
*
A way to validate documents that use XML namespaces.
*
A way to associate element type or attribute declarations in a DTD with an XML namespace.
