  Hum, how do you do the parsing ? Namespace errors have to be reported
but should not block parsing. However I found recently that the push
parser (used by the reader) would fail on non-fatal errors reported by
the parser, and that would be one such problem. See the last chunk of

http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=6c91aa384f48ff6d406553a6dd47fd556c1ef2e6

basically if the XML parser still think the document is well-formed
then procesing should continue and return 0 as the error instead
of the actual error.
  If you could try against one of the snapshot tarballs, that would be
helpful,

Daniel
