  I would not suggest to ignore namespace errors in general but
if you're trying to rtetrofit in an older framework I can understand.

  libxml2 won't consider namespace error fatal error. If your
tree is otherwise wellformed XML-1.0 it will output the namespace
errors but you still get a tree, i.e. the parsing suceeded.
  If you want to ignore namespace errors simply set a structured
error handler and skip errors and warnings coming with the
XML_FROM_NAMESPACE domain.

  I suggest to use the xmlRead* parsing functions (or the reader)
and the xmlSaveTo* for processing since you're converting to libxml2
it's better to use the new set of entry points.
