XML Namespaces Firefox 1.5 recognizes
Firefox recognizes a respectable number of XML namespaces now. Here is a brief list of them.
There are also 7 non-visual standards supported as well. Here are the most commonly used 4 of them.
See Firefox Hacks by Nigel McFarlane for more information.
| xmlns | standard | purpose |
|---|---|---|
| http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml | XHTML | general purpose documents; text, prose, tables, images, lists, headings, forms, etc. |
| http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML | MathML | mathematical expressions/equations/formulas |
| http://www.w3.org/2000/svg | SVG | scalable vector graphics |
| http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul | XUL | Mozilla-specific user interface presentation and data entry form elements |
There are also 7 non-visual standards supported as well. Here are the most commonly used 4 of them.

Hopefully, someday I will get this page to validate!
