Hi Josh, The default conversions listed on the page you linked are just that - defaults, which you don't need to specify. I don't understand why you'd be getting a namespace error if you try to reference them explicitly, though. Unless you're perhaps using the old form of the names, which had ':' characters rather than '.' characters as separators? The names were changed around the time of JiBX 1.1 in order to be usable with namespaces. I do test references to some of the default formats as part of the build tests, so this appears to be working.
