While a little bit out dated for its testing realm, this article holds some still useful information for the modern developer. "XML in the browser has been the subject of many spirited discussions about bleeding-edge web development. Some feel that XML in place of HTML isn’t ready for prime time due to the lack of user agents that can properly parse and render it. Others feel that XML really belongs on the server or used solely as a descriptive framework for data and has no place in the visual world of the Web which is already adequately served by

Although XQuery was initially conceived as a query language for large collections of XML documents, it is also capable of transforming individual documents. As such, its capabilities overlap with XSLT, which was designed expressly to allow input XML documents to be transformed into XML or other formats.The XSLT 2.0 and XQuery standards were developed by separate working groups within W3C, working together to ensure a common approach where appropriate. They share the same data model, type system, and function library, and both include XPath 2.0 as a

The XML Namespaces Recommendation seems to be causing a great deal of confusion. This note attempts an alternative explanation of the mechanism described in the Recommendation which I hope will be less confusing. In the data model implied by XML, an XML document contains a tree of elements. Each element has an element type name (sometimes called the tag name) and a set of attributes; each attribute consists of a name and a value. Applications typically make use of the element type name and attributes of an element in determining how to process the

Introduction: The increasing number and complexity of XML-related specifications (e.g., Namespaces, XSLT, Schema, XInclude, XBase) as well as inherent functions of XML (entity resolution and validation) have created the need for an XML processing model, in order to disambiguate the order and depth of processing when applying these mechanisms. There are already a number of efforts to define a distributed processing model for the Web, encompassing proprietary efforts, embryonic efforts at standards (e.g., ESI and OPES), and as parts of other W3C

Summary: The purpose of an XML namespace is to allow the deployment of XML vocabularies (in which element and attribute names are defined) in a global environment and to reduce the risk of name collisions in a given document when vocabularies are combined. For example, the MathML and SVG specifications both define the set element. Although XML data from different formats such as MathML and SVG can be combined in a single document, in this case there could be ambiguity about which set element was intended. XML namespaces reduce the risk of name
