<root xmlns="http://somewhere.com/someplace" xmlns:custom="http://somewhere.com/anotherplace">
  <child>I'm a child</child>
  <custom:anotherchild>I'm a child too</custom:anotherchild>
</root>

<XMLMappings>
  <Namespace name="default" uri="http://somewhere.com/someplace"/>
  <Namespace name="custom" uri="http://somewhere.com/anotherplace"/>
  <Mapping attr="child" path="//default:child"/>
  <Mapping attr="anotherchild" path="//custom:anotherchild" />
</XMLMappings>
