http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace prefix problem in the soap envelope generated by JAX-WS2.0

I am trying to build a web service with notification function using
JAX-WS2.0, and I use the wsimport to generate the artifacts.

In the WSDL, I import
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/eventing/eventing.wsdl file.

( <wsdl:import location="eventing.wsdl"
namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/eventing"
<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/eventing> /> )

When I checked the SOAP response message in the SOAP Envelope and I
found the prefix ns3 is pointed to namespace
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace, but if you go to
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace link

And you will see:

The namespace whose name is http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace is
bound by definition to the prefix xml: according to Namespaces in XML,
W3C Recommendation 14 Jan 1999
<http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xml-names-19990114> (and by Namespaces
in XML 1.1 <http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names11/> ). Note that unlike all
other XML namespaces, both the name and the prefix are specified; i.e.,
if you want XML 1.0 processors to recognize this namespace, you must use
the reserved prefix xml:.

So I always got exception when tried to parse the following Soap Return,
because of the wrong prefix -ns3 for this namespace.

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing"
xmlns:ns2="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/eventing"
xmlns:ns3="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">

You will find the eventing.xsd schema at :
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/eventing/eventing.xsd , and in
this schema there is also a bug there,

The schemaLocation=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing for
addressing should be changed to

schemaLocation=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing/addressi
ng.xsd now.
