I am working on a framework based on a previous authors work and wanted to downgrade the XML to not have XML namespace support, basically because it is not needed and over complicates the end result.
Here is example XML:
<ae:configurations xmlns:ae="http://domain.tld/xml/config/global/envelope" xmlns="http://domain.tld/xml/config/parts/routing">
<ae:configuration context="web">
<routes>
<!-- The last route in case the input URL is just "/". -->
<route name="examples" pattern="^/examples" module="Examples" action="Default">
<route name=".caching" pattern="/caching$" module="Examples" action="Caching" />
<route name=".configuration" pattern="/configuration$" module="Examples" action="Configuration" />
<route name=".exceptions" pattern="/exceptions$" module="Examples" action="Exceptions" />
<route name=".routing" pattern="/routing$" module="Examples" action="Routing" />
<route name=".sessions" pattern="/sessions$" module="Examples" action="Sessions" />
<route name=".database" pattern="/database$" module="Examples" action="Database" />
<route name=".forms" pattern="/forms$" module="Examples" action="Forms" />
<route name=".generator" pattern="/generator$" module="Examples" action="Generator" />
<route name=".templating" pattern="/templating$" module="Examples" action="Templating" />
<route name=".translation" pattern="/translation$" module="Examples" action="Translation" />
</route>
<route name="index" pattern="^/$" module="%chains.default_module%" action="%chains.default_action%" />
</routes>
</ae:configuration>
</ae:configurations>
Which has the following XSD files:

There are some other files that may be relevant to its processing, I included those here: https://pastebin.com/aynNT2BT
Apologies for the really generic question I just don't know where to start! So basically the final XML would be <configurations>...</configurations> and not <ae:configurations>...</ae:configurations>.
Thanks in advance
Edit: this is work-in-progress at this stage. The idea here was to remove ae: from the XML declarations, which weren't needed.
So the issue is fixed, it turns out to be a PHP issue that needs addressing as the child <ae:configuration> etc is allowed to be <configuration>, the parent node is required to be :ae but that's ok.
Thank you
