> and it also
>     defines a syntax that other specifications can adopt for 
> using those
>     prefixes in namespace-qualified names.

> The module is required to make Selectors usuable in CSS. 
> Selectors can

> namespaces 
> are declared. In CSS, those declarations will be done with the syntax 
> of this module, but other systems (e.g., XBL2) use their own 
> syntax to 
> declare namespaces for use with Selectors.
