I'm implementing SWSAPI defined by ActiveState in Ruby.&n= bsp; Read more about it at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/WebServi= ces/SWSAPI.  This requires parsing WSDL.  Some attribute *val= ues* contain qualified XML names, for example, "tns:TemperaturePortTyp= e".  In this case I can determine the namespace using the element= that contains the attribute as follows.

  namespace =3D element.namespace('tns')

When attribute values don't contain prefixes, I believe I= 'm supposed to assume the targetnamespace which I can get from the "ta= rgetNamespace" attribute on the "definitions" element.

I was satisfied with the answers I got.

I did that this morning when I thanked the person who cor= rectly suspected that I really *did* have a reference to a REXML Element th= at I could use to get the namespace I needed.
