What does the xmlns attribute in the <html> element specify?

The xmlns attribute specifies the XML Namespace of the document.

The default value is http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml, and it is required in documents parsed with XML parsers and optional in text/html documents. This attribute ensures that the document is correctly interpreted within the XML framework, maintaining consistency and compatibility across different XML-based applications.
