Re: Validation error on prefixed attribute

Interestingly you can change this default behaviour very easily via the schema element in your XSD.

Use the elementFormDefault attribute to change how namespacing of elements works and attributeFormDefault to change how namespacing of attributes works. Both reside on the schema element and both take either "qualified" or "unqualified".
