HTML 4.0 Logo Reader Icon OEB 1.0 Logo xmlns

This attribute points to a specific namespace. The tag definitions within that namespace are then applied to the rest of the document that this attribute modifies.

Some .lit conversion tools generate a warning if any unrecognized tag is present in a document of MIME type text/html or text/x-oeb1-document unless that tag uses a namespace prefix. Others will simply drop the unrecognized tag without a warning. Consult your tools vendor for details.
