package require tdom set xml { <ns1:Root xmlns="http://default.com" xmlns:ns1="http://some.otherns.com"> <ns1:Item>Here be text</ns1:Item> </ns1:Root>} dom parse $xml doc set root [$doc childNodes] set item [$root selectNodes //ns1:Item] set itemLst [$item asList] lset itemLst end end end "Other text" puts [[$root appendFromList $itemLst] asXML] # Gives output below. Where does the xmlns="" come from? It seems to be caused by the xmlns in the root element, but one could argue that adding an element in a tree should not override the default namespace <ns1:Root xmlns="http://default.com" xmlns:ns1="http://some.otherns.com"> <ns1:Item>Here be text</ns1:Item> <ns1:Item xmlns="">Other text</ns1:Item> </ns1:Root>
