Those “xmlns:” attributes are not specific to SOAP. They define prefixes that will later be used to refer to XML namespaces. Example:
This defines DTS as a prefix that means the namespace “www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts”. It then refers to the ExecutableType attribute from that namespace.
XML namespaces do the same job as a namespace in C# or C++. They provide a space in which to define names, so that names from one namespace do not conflict with names in another. You could define your own “ExecutableType” attribute, and it could mean something totally different from the one that Microsoft defined. Both could be used in the same document, with no ambiguity about which was which.
