If there were no namespaces then you could not mix different XML
vocabularies as you could not distinguish for instance the XHTML 'table'
elment from a 'table' element in another vocabulary. Using namespaces
the complete name of the XHTML 'table' element is
{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}table where the URL
'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' provides the globally unique context for
the local name 'table'. And any {http://example.com/foo}table is
different from that.
