WPF strange name of namespaces

I noticed that standard namespaces in WPF have strange names such as

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

Well, I can understand naming convention like CompanyName.Technology.Product etc, but I can't get why Microsoft coders use URL ardress. Does it have any practical sence or it's just for fun?

It is called as URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). It is a recommended standard defined by W3C for XML namespaces.

For more details, check out this XML Namespace page from wiki.
