28 The names currently defined in this namespace are listed below.
29 They should not be used with conflicting semantics by any Working

48 <h3>lang (as an attribute name)

50 denotes an attribute whose value
51 is a language code for the natural language of the content of
52 any element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved
53 by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.
</p>
59 Attempting to install the relevant ISO
2- and
3-letter
60 codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
61 going to be a realistic possibility.

195 <div class=
"bodytext">
197 This schema defines attributes and an attribute group suitable
198 for use by schemas wishing to allow
<code>xml:base
</code>,
199 <code>xml:lang
</code>,
<code>xml:space
</code> or
200 <code>xml:id
</code> attributes on elements they define.
203 To enable this, such a schema must import this schema for
204 the XML namespace, e.g. as follows:
209 <import
namespace=
"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
210 schemaLocation=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>
216 <import
namespace=
"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
217 schemaLocation=
"http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd"/>
220 Subsequently, qualified reference to any of the attributes or the
221 group defined below will have the desired effect, e.g.
226 <attributeGroup
ref=
"xml:specialAttrs"/>
229 will define a type which will schema-validate an instance element
230 with any of those attributes.
239 <div id=

243 In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard versioning
244 policy, this schema document will persist at

246 http://www.w3.org/
2009/

249 At the date of issue it can also be found at
250 <a href=

251 http://www.w3.org/

254 The schema document at that URI may however change in the future,
255 in order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML
256 Schema itself, or with the XML namespace itself. In other words,

<a href=

259 http://www.w3.org/
