      <para>The <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializerNamespaces" /> contains a collection of XML namespaces, each with an associated prefix. The <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer" /> uses an instance of the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializerNamespaces" /> class to create qualified names in an XML document.</para>
      <para>XML namespaces contained by the <see cref="T:System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializerNamespaces" /> must conform to the www.w3.org specification named <paramref name="Namespaces in XML" />.</para>
      <para>XML namespaces provide a way to qualify the names of XML elements and attributes in XML documents. A qualified name consists of a prefix and a local name, separated by a colon. The prefix functions only as a placeholder; it is mapped to a URI that specifies a namespace. The combination of the universally-managed URI namespace and the local name produces a name that is guaranteed to be universally unique.</para>
