I don't like xml namespaces either because of the overhead they bring on simple
documents, but they can't just simply be removed. Parsing would be unguaranteed,
because documents could have have property name collisions, and creating xml back from vfp
would be impossible because you'll end up with a vfp object that is not a real representation
of the original XML. ( And of course, you would not be able to create XML with namespaces using VFP. )

So yesterday I uploaded a new version, changing the ugly "_58_" for a simple "_" .

The character escaping for property names is now:

_ = __
: = _
. = _d_
) = _l_
( = _r_
- = _h_
