In short: it is a URI, not a URL. It doesn't locate anything; it just
identifies something uniquely.

Nominally, if an XML element looks like:

<foo:ELEM xmlns:foo="URI_goes_here"/>

Then, the element is uniquely identified as "URI_goes_hereELEM" (they're
appended). In a more familiar form, you might have a URI of
"http://my.domain.com/some_app/xml_elems/" so that you end up with final
URIs like "http://my.domain.com/some_app/xml_elem/ELEM"
