How do I use prefixes to refer to element type and attribute names in an XML namespace?

Make sure you have declared the prefix (see question 4.1) and that it is still in scope (see section 6). All you need to do then is prefix the local name of an element type or attribute with the prefix and a colon. The result is a qualified name (see question 12.1), which the application parses to determine what XML namespace the local name belongs to. For example, suppose you have associated the serv prefix with the http://www.tu-darmstadt.de/ito/servers namespace and that the declaration is still in scope. In the following, serv:Address refers to the Address name in the http://www.tu-darmstadt.de/ito/servers namespace. (Note that the prefix is used on both the start and end tags.
