Namespaced XML will contain colons in the nodes names such as <foo:note>. The xml_parse() function, when invoked on this data, will create structures with member names containing colons making them inaccessible. To overcome this, use xml_parse_set_colon_replacement() to convert the colon in the name to something more MivaScript friendly like an underscore.
<MvASSIGN NAME = "l.change" VALUE = "{ xml_parse_set_colon_replacement( '_' ) }">

Which turns this:
Code:
<foo:note>
	<to>Steve</to>
	<from>Janice</from>
	<heading>Reminder</heading>
	<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</foo:note>
