I gave up understanding why namespaces are called http://something/ [something] (apparantly Microsoft calls them http://tempuri/ [tempuri] by default). It doesn't point to anything, and it's generally confusing.

Because namespaces are URIs, and that in turn is because those are (generally) globally unique identifiers. That’s all. In the context of namespaces the URI doesn’t have any meaning beyond being a unique identifier. That’s fine, as URIs don’t have to be retrievable, even those with schemes you’re used to thinking of as retrievable, such as “
http:”. You can use any other scheme though. For namespaces I like to use “tag:” when I don’t plan to put anything at the address in question.Reply to This
