Solving Name Conflicts Using a Prefix

[ben2ong2]

This XML document carries information in a table:
<h:table>   <h:tr>   <h:td>Apples</h:td>   <h:td>Bananas</h:td>   </h:tr></h:table>
This XML document carries information about a piece of furniture:
<f:table>   <f:name>African Coffee Table</f:name>   <f:width>80</f:width>   <f:length>120</f:length></f:table>
Now there will be no name conflict because the two documents use a different name for their <table> element (<h:table> and <f:table>).
By using a prefix, we have created two different types of <table> elements.
