The XML Document
The XML below shows a portion of the example purchase order taken from section 3 in XML Schema Part 0: Primer. This XML document conforms to the namespace qualification rules defined in the previous schema. Note that all elements in the document are in the namespace "http://www.example.com/PO1". The top-level element apo:purchaseOrder declares that the prefix apo corresponds to the namespace "http://www.example.com/PO1". Each element in the document has the prefix apo, therefore each element is within the namespace "http://www.example.com/PO1".
