No, I don't think you can get rid of those warnings at the moment. The
problem is one of conflicting specs: libxml2 tries to follow a certain
group of specifications, under which DAV: is not a valid namespace (as I
understand it). So it will always give a warning.

I'm not really sure what the solution is here. Maybe you can try to
convince Daniel Veillard that libxml2 could have a xmlUsingWebDav() call
or something to disable that particular warning, but he is usually
reluctant to put in exceptions for things like that that break the
specification (and I agree with him).
