This schema document describes the XML namespace, in a form suitable for import by other schema documents.
See http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.html and http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml for information about this namespace.
Note that local names in this namespace are intended to be defined only by the World Wide Web Consortium or its subgroups. The names currently defined in this namespace are listed below. They should not be used with conflicting semantics by any Working Group, specification, or document instance.
See further below in this document for more information about how to refer to this schema document from your own XSD schema documents and about the namespace-versioning policy governing this schema document.
denotes an attribute whose value is a language code for the natural language of the content of any element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.
Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never going to be a realistic possibility.
See BCP 47 at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt and the IANA language subtag registry at http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry for further information.
The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with the empty string.
denotes an attribute whose value is a keyword indicating what whitespace processing discipline is intended for the content of the element; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML specification.
denotes an attribute whose value provides a URI to be used as the base for interpreting any relative URIs in the scope of the element on which it appears; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML Base specification.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/ for information about this attribute.
denotes an attribute whose value should be interpreted as if declared to be of type ID. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the xml:id specification.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/ for information about this attribute.
denotes Jon Bosak, the chair of the original XML Working Group. This name is reserved by the following decision of the W3C XML Plenary and XML Coordination groups:

Festivals and weddings prompt a return to hyper-traditional, heavily embroidered garments like lehengas and anarkalis. Health, Wellness, and the Balance Paradigm
While progress is undeniable, systemic challenges persist. The duality of India means that advancements in urban centers often contrast with realities in rural pockets.
The culture of the Indian woman is not static. It is an unfinished symphony—sometimes discordant, often beautiful, and always, relentlessly, moving forward. She is not just the goddess or the victim, the homemaker or the careerist. She is all of it, simultaneously, and she is finally learning to write her own lekh (destiny). Festivals and weddings prompt a return to hyper-traditional,
Traditional cooking heavily incorporates Ayurvedic principles, using spices like turmeric, ginger, and cumin for both flavor and medicinal benefits.
But adornment is also pure, unapologetic joy. The solah shringar (sixteen adornments) is a classical ideal of a bride’s beauty, but everyday women reinterpret it. A college student pairs ripped jeans with jhumka earrings. A corporate lawyer wears a power suit but adds a silk dupatta as a scarf. The explosion of India’s beauty and fashion market—from herbal ubtan (face pack) recipes shared by grandmothers to the rise of D2C brands for haldi cream—shows that self-care is now a booming industry, driven by women’s disposable income and desire for self-expression. The culture of the Indian woman is not static
The lifestyle and culture of Indian women today is a "beautiful chaos." It is a world where a woman might lead a multi-billion dollar tech firm by day and perform a traditional Aarti by night.

By 9:00 AM, the scene shifts. Meera is part of the now participating in India’s labor force—a significant jump from just 22.9% in 2018. Whether she is an engineer managing a dam in Kerala or an entrepreneur in a Tamil Nadu village, she represents Nari Shakti (Women's Power), a cornerstone of India's goal to become a high-income nation by 2047. She is all of it, simultaneously, and she
Culture is the anchor of an Indian woman’s life. Even the most progressive, Westernized Indian women actively participate in and preserve cultural rituals, festivals, and culinary heritages.
The family serves as the central anchor for most Indian women, though their roles within this unit are shifting significantly.
Despite significant strides, Indian women still navigate challenges related to patriarchal structures and regional disparities in access to resources. However, the narrative is increasingly one of empowerment, as more women advocate for their rights and reshape what it means to be a woman in 21st-century India.
In keeping with the XML Schema WG's standard versioning policy, this schema document will persist at http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd.
At the date of issue it can also be found at http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd.
The schema document at that URI may however change in the future, in order to remain compatible with the latest version of XML Schema itself, or with the XML namespace itself. In other words, if the XML Schema or XML namespaces change, the version of this document at http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd will change accordingly; the version at http://www.w3.org/2009/01/xml.xsd will not change.
