[xmlsec] Encryption and namespace

[Matthias Jung]

Oh, I ran into the same problem a week ago, while migrating from libxml 
2.5.11 to libxml 2.6.7.

Decryption of such XML fragments works with xmlsec and libxml2.5.x but 
not with 2.6.x. Something must have changed within the parser 
implementation.

Unfortunately I got no response on my posting till now.
See: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2004-March/msg00206.html

If I would know how to set up parser to ignore this namespace problem, I 
could tweak xmlsec.


Regards Matthias
