Hi John

XML namespace names are usually URIs, supposedly to avoid collisions.
However, they are not required to be a URI nor are they required to
point to an actual document. The Wikipedia article on XML namespaces
has more detail:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace#Namespace_names

The last sentence of the linked section sums it up nicely:

"In general, however, users should assume that the namespace URI is
simply a name, not the address of a document on the Web."

Regards
Julian
