[JDEV] namespaces in jabber server architecture

[Shah Hitesh Bhavanji]

Hi,
I was looking at the documents at www.jabber.org site. I could not understand why so many namespaces are used in 'jabber' Server Architecture. Does this help in optimising the parsing of XML Document? If it does, then how? Is there any  other motivation for keeping so many namespaces? I am new to XML and not very comfortable with namespaces.

Thanks and Regards,
Hitesh.
