so does the value following XMLNS:USER have any actual meaning?  or could it
just as easily type the following?

xmlns:user="anytinfoiwanttotypehere"

i understand how the USER namespace directs the XSL to the correct spot,
what i am still confused on is whether the value you specify (be it a valid
email address, valid URL or just a text string) has any meaning?
