[Xsltforms-support] namespace in instance causing error

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi, I'm pasting a simple form borrowed from here:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XForms/Select1_drop_list#Source_Code

Only I've added an instance containing a namespaced element. The name space is declared globally and can either be declared at xf:instance or not, I still get the same error in both firefox and safari:

***
XSLTForms Exception
--------------------------

Error initializing :

XML parser exception: prefix newsm not found

</message>
***

Note the the name is actually "newsml" not "newsm". That's consistent: if I change the name to "moo" the error says it is "mo". Even if i'm making a simple, obvious error it seems weird that the name is truncaed like that.

Running this on eXist 1.4.0 on OSX. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
