Eric,

I'm not sure if I correctly interpreted "the combination used to mix the
namespaces" in your original response below, but anyway here's an
example with generic namespace identifiers/prefixes and elements:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:MyRootElement
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:ns1="http://www.abc.com
    xmlns:ns2="http://www.xyz.com
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.abc.com Schema1.xsd
                        http://www.xyz.com Schema2.xsd>

    <ns1:SomeDate>2001-01-01</ns1:SomeDate>
    <ns2:AnotherDate>2001-01-01</ns2:AnotherDate>
...
</ns1:MyRootElement>

Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Kind Regards,
Joe Chiusano
