Can you tell me what this code means?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<package xmlns="

http://messenger.msn.com/messengercontent/1.0"

version="1.0" type="wink" xmlns:wink="

http://messenger.msn.com/winks/1.0"

wink:version="1.0" contenttype="D">
<item type="animation" mimetype="application/x-shockwave-flash" file="water_balloon.swf" />
<item type="thumbnail" mimetype="image/png" file="water_balloon.png" />
</package>

It's an XML document that appears to describe a smiley for MSN Messenger.

I'd say it is for a Wink, but Smiley is close enough ;-)

This describes the encoding of the document (standard xml stuff)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This begins the package block and defines the name space (xmlns), version, type, location, etc...
<package xmlns="

http://messenger.msn.com/messengercontent/1.0"

version="1.0" type="wink" xmlns:wink="

http://messenger.msn.com/winks/1.0"

wink:version="1.0" contenttype="D">

This is an item which includes the Flash Animation (water_balloon.swf) that plays when you run it...
<item type="animation" mimetype="application/x-shockwave-flash" file="water_balloon.swf" />

This is an item which includes the Thumbnail/Icon (water_balloon.png) that that you click to play the animation...
<item type="thumbnail" mimetype="image/png" file="water_balloon.png" />

This Closes the package...
</package>

Hope this helps...
