Since I can't see your document, I can't say for sure.

But by the look of that traceback, you have neglected to declare a 
namespace in your XML document. The error appears to occur when the 
parser is looking for the "namespace prefix" associated with the 
namespace URI "http://www.w3.org/2001/02/appelv1".

Post an example document if I'm wrong.
