For example, any structure that you introduce into a prefix (like level1.level2.level3:element-name) will be ignored. Also, the prefixes are not to be hardcoded, because they are arbitrary aliases for a uri that specifies the actual namespace. You can change the string used for the prefix as long as you specify that it still is an alias for the original namespace. Cheers, Tom P
