Thanks for the information. That makes sense and was what I had
originally thought would work.
I originally tried calling the namespace variable xml to match the
prefix in the XML document, however I received an error. If I had read
the stacktrace message more carefully I'd have seen it was caused
by me
calling the namespace variable xml AND the XML variable xml.
Whoops! :)
