    It’s the namespace for the XML.

    Wikipedia wraps it up nicely:

    XML namespaces are used for providing
    uniquely named elements and attributes
    in an XML document. They are defined
    in Namespaces in XML, a W3C
    recommendation. An XML instance may
    contain element or attribute names
    from more than one XML vocabulary. If
    each vocabulary is given a namespace
    then the ambiguity between identically
    named elements or attributes can be
    resolved.

    Basically, it’s used to identify the android specific tags and to avoid mix-up with other elements that have the same name but are not related with android.
