An XSL sheet or a document may have duplicate elements and attributes. Therefore, the XML namespaces define a way to distinguish between duplicate element types and attribute names.

An XML namespace is a collection of element type and attribute names. It is a URI due to which any element type or attribute name in an XML namespace can be uniquely identified. 

It consists of two parts : the name of the XML namespace and the local name.

e.g.: xmlns: h=”https://www.abc.com”

After this, you can write

<h:table>

……..

</h:table>

to associate the table with the declared namespace.
