23.4.1 Introduction

   All DAV compliant systems MUST suport the SML namespace extensions as
   specified in [REC-XML-NAMES].

23.4.2 Meaning of Qualified Names

   [Note to the reader: This section does not appear in [REC-XML-NAMES],
   but is necessary to avoid ambiguity for WebDAV XML processors.]

   WebDAV compliant XML processors MUST interpret a qualified name as a
   URI constructed by appending the LocalPart to the namespace name URI.

   Example

   <del:glider xmlns:del="http://www.del.jensen.org/">
     <del:glidername>
          Johnny Updraft
     </del:glidername>
     <del:glideraccidents/>
   </del:glider>

   In this example, the qualified element name "del:glider" is
   interpreted as the URL "http://www.del.jensen.org/glider".

   <bar:glider xmlns:del="http://www.del.jensen.org/">
     <bar:glidername>
          Johnny Updraft
     </bar:glidername>
     <bar:glideraccidents/>
   </bar:glider>

   Even though this example is syntactically different from the previous
   example, it is semantically identical.  Each instance of the
   namespace name "bar" is replaced with "http://www.del.jensen.org/"
   and then appended to the local name for each element tag.  The
   resulting tag names in this example are exactly the same as for the
   previous example.

   <foo:r xmlns:foo="http://www.del.jensen.org/glide">
     
          Johnny Updraft
     
     <foo:raccidents/>

   This example is semantically identical to the two previous ones.
   Each instance of the namespace name "foo" is replaced with
   "http://www.del.jensen.org/glide" which is then appended to the local
   name for each element tag, the resulting tag names are identical to
   those in the previous examples.
