i have seen a similar situation (dia 83 & libxml 1.8.3 & slakware 7.0)
anyway for whatever reason dia is stripping out the xml 'namespace' stuff
when it writes the files -- no clue why, i'm not that close to this stuff
yet -- anyway following script can get you by till they determine how/if
they're gonna fix this in the binary....
use at your own risk (this works for me but maybe not you...)
/usr/local/bin/fix-dia <dia-file>
#! /bin/csh
setenv FTMP $1
cat $FTMP | \
sed s'/</<dia:/g' | \
sed 's/dia:\//\/dia:/g' |\
sed 's/<dia:?xml/<?xml/g'|\
sed 's/<dia:diagram>/<dia:diagram
xmlns:dia=\"http:\/\/www.lysator.liu.se\/\~alla\/dia\/\">/g' > /tmp/ftmp
mv /tmp/ftmp $FTMP
exit 0
