RE: how to process a element named <rule:something>

I think I tried it. But its worth giving it a try
again. Does 

"http:www.somthing.com/rule"

have any significance. I mean do I really need to have
some thing at this location. I dont understand
namespaces well I think. So probably I am not
following what you are saying.
Thanks,
Abhi
