I see this is a two liner, that even puts back in commented out code...
What's the problem with checking it in?
When Ant 1.6.2 being built with it ;-)

I'll have to see. Thanks for the alternative fix, which I could put to use
waiting for Ant 1.6.2.
Why am I the one always falling in the XML NS traps :-( --DD
