Re: [xsl] Re: XSL-List Digest V3 #1158

Hi Avani,
see the prefix is a place-holder for the uri.It is provided so that you 
dont have to write lengthy node names.
you use the prefix to identify a node like this :

<xsl:value-of select = "xyz:nodename"/>
if you use the uri then the uri contains characters which have special 
meaning in XPath. for e.g.. <</>> identifies root node.
