lol… exactly.
i modified the schema to elementFormDefault=“unqualified”, and then created the IS doc using the schema. It still creates it with the “ns:” prefix. I’ve tried this numerous times with many variations… maybe you see something I’m missing:
<xsd:schema targetNamespace=“http://www.xxx.myOrg” elementFormDefault=“unqualified” attributeFormDefault=“unqualified” xmlns:xsd=“XML Schema” xmlns=“http://www.xxx.myOrg”>
