It's a namespace name, so like any namespace name it should have the syntax of a URI reference, but it has no particular connection with any resource that is identified by the URI, and most (all?) XSL engines don't check for URI syntax and accept any string. Actually following a slightly strange W3C annoncement that followed the namespace rec (by a long time:-) it's best to use an absolute rather than a relative URI as they decided that the behaviour for relative uri references was explictly undefined ('cause they couldn't agree what its definition should be, even though the namespace rec itself was quite clear that namespace names should be compared as strings, some people argued that they should first be made absoluet before being compared) This is just the same as, for instance xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" The XSLT namespace has name http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform but it doesn't matter what resource, if any, is identified by that URI.
