Tech Review XML: Wednesday, February 29, 2012

URN in XML name space:  http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_namespaces.asp
This doesn't work with xmlstartlet or VS XML.  They both say the XML is invalid if it is simply 

<table xmlns="some urn">
</table>

However, the following will work:

<table xmlns:urn="some name" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
</table>
