re: Query Regd Namespace

Simply, it allows you to distinguish data from multiple sources so that you can treat them differently. eg, the 2 record elements are different:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <table xmlns="www.query.com">
  2.   <record>
  3.     <id>14</id>
  4.     <value>3252</value>
  5.   </record>
  6. </table>
  7.  
  8. <record xmlns="www.music.org">
  9.   <title>Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em</title>
  10.   <artist>MC Hammer</artist>
  11. </record>
  12.
