Easy Schema Question About Naming Convention

[needin4mation]

Hi, consider:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com"
xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com"
elementFormDefault="qualified"><xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element></xs:schema>

Is the "xs" and arbitrary name "<xs:schema..."? Could "xs" in the
second line be changed to anything as long as the rest of the xs
references are changed to reflect it? Thank you.
