I do not see anything wrong in your XML file, you do indeed need to declare the namespace and use it in the 
same element, so :

<S11:Envelope xmlns:S11="..." ...>

is right.

I have never used namespaces programmatically like this, but I do not think this is how it should be done, 
the namespace prefix should not be provided in the element name. Have you tried this?

doc = xmlNewDoc(BAD_CAST "1.0");
root = xmlNewNode(NULL, BAD_CAST "Envelope");
ns = xmlNewNs(root,"...","S11");
xmlSetNs(root, ns);
