additional characters

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

The additional characters allowed in IRIs by are:
declared

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

A namespace (or more precisely, a namespace binding) is declared using a family of reserved attributes. Such an attribute's name must either be xmlns or begin xmlns:. These attributes, like any other XML attributes, may be provided directly or by default.
default namespace

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

If the attribute name matches DefaultAttName, then the namespace name in the attribute value is that of the default namespace in the scope of the element to which the declaration is attached.
expanded name

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

An expanded name is a pair consisting of a namespace name and a local name.
identical

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

The two IRIs are treated as strings, and they are identical if and only if the strings are identical, that is, if they are the same sequence of characters.
IRI reference

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

An IRI reference is a string that can be converted to a URI reference by applying the following steps:
local name

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

In either case the local name is N.
local part

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

The LocalPart provides the local part of the qualified name.
namespace name

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

For a name N in a namespace identified by an IRI I, the namespace name is I. For a name N that is not in a namespace, the namespace name has no value.
namespace prefix

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

If the attribute name matches PrefixedAttName, then the NCName gives the namespace prefix, used to associate element and attribute names with the namespace name in the attribute value in the scope of the element to which the declaration is attached.
namespace-valid

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

A namespace-well-formed document is namespace-valid if it is valid according to the XML 1.1 specification, and all tokens other than element and attribute names which are REQUIRED, for XML 1.1 validity, to match the XML production for Name, match this specification's production for NCName.
namespace-validating

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

A validating XML processor that conforms to this specification is namespace-validating if in addition it reports violations of namespace validity.
namespace-well-formed

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

A document is namespace-well-formed if it conforms to this specification.
qualified name

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

A qualified name is a name subject to namespace interpretation.
XML namespace

From Namespaces in XML 1.1 (2004-02-04)

An XML namespace is identified by an IRI reference; element and attribute names may be placed in an XML namespace using the mechanisms described in this specification.
