Apparently, the XML parser is passing namespace declarations as
attributes. Either you need to configure SAX parser not to do so, or
there's a problem in Oracle's XML parser (a bit unlikely, though)
Look for a documentation about SAX properties. The problem might be
solved if you use the setProperty/setFeature methods to change this
behavior.
