<![CDATA[
URIs must be used for the prefix names.
A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a string of characters that identifies a resource.
It can be URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or URN (Universal Resource Name).
The URL we're using is simply used as a name, for the namespace.

XML parser uses it for naming the namespaces in the document.
