These days most would say it's a problem with your XML, which is not namespace-valid. Then, my copy of xmllint (Windows, 20707) reformats the doc alright, it just also emits the warning you're seeing and, significantly, drops the part of the name before the colon. You'd need a parser configuration that has namespaces switched off. That should be available as "xmllint --sax1" (the old SAX 1 didn't know about namespaces), but even then xmllint emits the warning and drops the part before the colon, which I think is a bug. -- Michael Ludwig _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
