Re: [xml] ignoring namespace while parsing a XML file

[Dheeraj Gautam <dgautam juniper net>]

Is it valid to have multiple nodes, in a single XML file.

<configuration abc:changed-seconds="0" abc:changed-localtime="1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC" >
<services>
</services>
</configuration>

<configuration junos:changed-seconds="0" junos:changed-localtime="1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC">
<services>
</services>
</configuration>

  It's a namespace error, not an XML-1.0 error, so you get the error
but the parsing completes and you get the data, that sounds normal. For
interoperability libxml2 should really report namespace errors as
this is now an expected part of the XML processing stack.
