<h1>About the XML namespace</h1>

<div class="bodytext">
15
This schema document describes the XML namespace, in a form
16
suitable for import by other schema documents.
19
See <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.html">
20
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.html</a> and

26
Note that local names in this namespace are intended to be
27
defined only by the World Wide Web Consortium or its subgroups.
28
The names currently defined in this namespace are listed below.
29
They should not be used with conflicting semantics by any Working
30
Group, specification, or document instance.

<h3>lang (as an attribute name)</h3>
50
denotes an attribute whose value
51
is a language code for the natural language of the content of
52
any element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved
53
by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.</p>
59
Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter
60
codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
61
going to be a realistic possibility.

provides a URI to be used as the base for interpreting any

<div class="bodytext">

denotes Jon Bosak, the chair of

the original XML Working Group. This name is reserved by
174
the following decision of the W3C XML Plenary and

XML Coordination groups:
179
In appreciation for his vision, leadership and
180
dedication the W3C XML Plenary on this 10th day of
181
February, 2000, reserves for Jon Bosak in perpetuity

the XML name "xml:Father".

<h2><a name="usage">About this schema document</a></h2>
195
<div class="bodytext">
197
This schema defines attributes and an attribute group suitable
198
for use by schemas wishing to allow <code>xml:base</code>,
199
<code>xml:lang</code>, <code>xml:space</code> or
200
<code>xml:id</code> attributes on elements they define.
203
To enable this, such a schema must import this schema for
204
the XML namespace, e.g. as follows:
209
<import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
210
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>
216
<import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
217
schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd"/>
220
Subsequently, qualified reference to any of the attributes or the
221
group defined below will have the desired effect, e.g.
226
<attributeGroup ref="xml:specialAttrs"/>
229
will define a type which will schema-validate an instance element
230
with any of those attributes.

243
In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard versioning
244
policy, this schema document will persist at
245
<a href="http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd">
246
http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd</a>.

The schema document at that URI may however change in the future,
255
in order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML
256
Schema itself, or with the XML namespace itself. In other words,

258
document at <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd">
259
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd
