Indicate that an unprefixed element and all its unprefixed descendant
elements belong to a particular namespace by attaching an xmlns
attribute with no prefix:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<head><title>Three Namespaces</title></head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">An Ellipse and a Rectangle</h1>
<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
width="12cm" height="10cm">
<svg:ellipse rx="110" ry="130" />
<svg:rect x="4cm" y="1cm" width="3cm" height="6cm" />
</svg:svg>

Both the DATASCHEMA
and DATA
elements are in the
http://www.w3.org/2000/P3Pv1 namespace.
Default namespaces apply only to elements, not to attributes.
Thus in the above example the name
, type
, short
, category
, and size
attributes are not in any namespace.
You can change the default namespace within a particular
element by adding an xmlns
attribute to the element:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<head><title>Three Namespaces</title></head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">An Ellipse and a Rectangle</h1>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
width="12cm" height="10cm">
<ellipse rx="110" ry="130" />
<rect x="4cm" y="1cm" width="3cm" height="6cm" />
</svg>
