Hi Rich, Two points: 1. Can't access the listings; I get an error saying the pages can't be found. 2. Do you mean that the xmlns="" attributes are redundant namespace declarations? I can't see any others that might qualify, but, these are not redundant to my eye. I believe their scope is limited to the element on which they reside and any unqualified child elements. The effect of these declarations is to leave both the userId and landmark elements unqualifed; in no namespace. This would seem to render this response invalid with respect to the schema you have provided. Of course, I am unable to actually validate it since the schema listing is not available. Thanks for the article. It's nice to see alternatives to WSDL being bandied about.

  The webmasters fixed the broken links, thanks for noticing! And the spurious xmlns are the xsd and xsi at the top. The internal xmlns="" are because of the schema's elementFormDefault setting.
