Hi,

I have been trying to use pxml from ACL6.1, and have run into a little 
problem. It's broken.

Here's the symptom:

CL-USER(19): (pprint (net.xml.parser:parse-xml "<foo:bar 
xmlns:foo=\"http://abc.com/\">foo</foo:bar>"))

(((|foo:bar| |xmlns:foo| "http://abc.com/") "foo"))

In other words, namespace handling is rather broken.

Is there a fix for this? Is there a replacement anyone might suggest? 
Currently, the best replacement is looking to be cl-xml.

Thanks,

Sunil

CLOCC/CLLIB/xml.lisp does handle namespaces

If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself

But is unsuitable for my needs for two reasons: GPL, and it is wrapped 
in with a lot of code that I don't need.
