Hi Emmanuel!
I'm not quite sure I understand.

If I have

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<bjorn:root_element xmlns:bjorn='http://www.abc.com/some_namespace'>
  <bjorn:Term Name="goal" Type="9" Size="9">
</bjorn:root_element>


I does work in xmlAda
but so does


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root_element>
  <Term Name="goal" Type="9" Size="9">
</root_element>

XmlAda is not my problem; tcldom2.6 is.
So the suggested solution still crashes the tcl-scripts.
But perhaps I misunderstood where to put the ns-declaration

My idea was to see if there is a way to tell XmlAda to treat

<root_element>

as if it really said

<root_element xmlns="http://www.abc.com/some_namespace" >

ie, 'just' append the xmlns attribute on the root node before/during
the validation


But I think I'll go for a simpler approch, I'll open the the file with
DOM first,
append the attribute, save it to a temp-file, and validate that one.
That, I think, is good enough, until I get to upgrade/replace the tcl-
scripts
