"no way" is putting it too strongly. You just have to declare a prefix and use that. Same is true to refer to such elements in Xpath it's quite common to declare the same namesapce with "" and with a non empty prefix. > In the end, however, I agree with Dare that the better thing would be to get > rid of default namespaces. "default namespace" is just a namespace which has a current binding to a prefix of "" together with a syntactic quirk that if the prefix is "" then you omit the ":" isn't it?
