XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Harold <elharo AT metalab.unc.edu>]

You do not need to declare the xml prefix. You can, but you don't have 
to. Given that the problem goes away when you include Xerces in the 
class path I expect this is a bug in whatever parser you were using 
previously, but I can't be sure without more information, such as the VM 
you were using to run your program.
