You missed the magic libxml command "xmlSetNs".  You added the namespace 
to the node, but you didn't tell the node to use the namespace.

root = xmlNewDocNode(document, NULL, (const xmlChar *) "IDMEF-Message", NULL);
idmefNS=xmlNewNs(root, (const xmlChar *) "http://iana.org/idmef";, (const xmlChar *) "idmef");
xmlSetNs(root, idmefNS);


When children are created, they automatically inherit their parents' ns, 
so as long as you call xmlSetNs before any further children are added, 
they'll use the prefix too.  If you want a child node to NOT use the 
prefix, just call xmlSetNs(child, NULL).
