Does anybody know about a possible error in XMLDOM when trying to obtain a
node value using the node name with a schema prefix?

--XML (only partly shown)--------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Invoice xmlns="urn:sfti:documents:BasicInvoice:1:0"
xmlns:cac="urn:sfti:CommonAggregateComponents:1:0"
xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:CommonBasicComponents:1:0"
xmlns:ccts="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:CoreComponentParameters:1:0"
xmlns:cur="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:codelist:CurrencyCode:1:0"
xmlns:sdt="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:SpecializedDatatypes:1:0"
xmlns:udt="urn:oasis:names:tc:ubl:UnspecializedDatatypes:1:0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<ID>15</ID>

<cbc:IssueDate>2003-09-11</cbc:IssueDate>

<InvoiceTypeCode>380</InvoiceTypeCode..........

--------------------------------------------------------------

Accessing the ID node is no problem using

var Invoice : IXMLNode;
begin
Invoice := XMLDocument1.DocumentElement;
Edit1.Text := Invoice['ID'].NodeValue;

but this fails:

Edit2.Text := Invoice['cbc:IssueDate'].NodeValue;

As far as I can see there must be an error in XMLDOM unit, in function
NodeMatches() as it seems as it only returns a match if the Nodes namespace
is the same as the parents namespace ( or empty ). As you can see in the
XML-snippet the default namespace for Invoice is different than the
namespace for the IssueDate node.

Any help appreciated
