The “magic” in my case seems to be that libxml2 is silently stripping out xml: prefixes, but keeping all others intact.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So if I set an attribute on an object to be “base” with a namespace and prefix of “xml” it will render the tag as:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><someElement base=“blah”></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But if I set the same attribute with a namespace and prefix of “pfx” it will render it as:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><someElement pfx:base=“blah”></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I just wanted to confirm that there wasn’t something about prefixes that I wasn’t getting.</div>

What he said. :-)<br>

Namespace-aware software should "automagically" support the XML namespace. Have a look at
