Hi, I managed to solve my problem. The interresting thing is that I didn't find the solution through documentation on XML schemas (Including w3c.org), but through this marvelous tool Inst2xsd which in one run did exaclty what I needed. (Up for tool of the year award!). The solution is to define the alternative namespace In the element declaration like this: <xs:element type="TImage" name="image"/> <xs:element ref="pod:image" xmlns:pod="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd"/>
Two equally named elements from different namespaces are now accessible through the same XmlObject. I am really curious to know if someone can point to a description, tutorial, article etc.. Which explains this concept.
