Note that namespace prefixes in XML documents are usually not
important when processing the XML infoset produced from parsing an XML
document unless:
1) those prefixes are referred to in text content or attribute values
(e.g. QNames in content); or
2) producing canonical versions of XML documents for the purposes of
signing.
One can think of a prefix as a sort of short name reference to a
namespace so that the namespace does not have to be referred to
directly many times resulting in XML documents that are hard to read
or write by humans.
