TclDOM 2.0 is in development.  You can get it from the CVS repository.

Your document uses XML Namespaces.  Unfortunately, although TclXML v2.x
does support XML Namespaces, TclDOM v1.6 does not support XML Namespaces 
at all.

I've started adding support for XML Namespaces in v2.0, 
but it is by no means complete yet (serialisation is a major issue).
That work is part of the effort to add DOM Level 2 support.

Sorry I can't help further at this time,
