There is no 'o' tag. There is a 'p' tag in the namespace designated
by 'o'.
So which namespace is that, you ask? Well, recurse back up the
elements till you find an "xmlns:o=" and it'll tell you right
there. There's a declaration for the 'o' namespace right at the top
element, so we see that the 'o' namespace is actually
urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office
This namespace is used to pass around Office information in a way
that complies with the XML standard. Here's a page, for example,
that tells you how to use this namespace to put custom SmartTags(tm)
on your web page:
