Namespace Conventions

• xs for xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" - XML Schema datatypes
• xdt for http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes - XPath/XQuery datatypes
  • Tools may still use http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-datatypes or older versions
• fn for http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions
  • Sometimes prefixed in documentation
  • Your old friends the XPath functions: fn:contains(), fn:substring-before() etc., plus the new ones, fn:replace(), fn:string-join() ...
  • These usually still appear without the prefix (binding is built into processor)
