I found some sample code to construct an rss feed and am trying to modify it
to match Google's specs at: http://www.google.com/base/rss_specs.html, but
without knowing much about XML.
Their samples show the namespace declaration in the rss tag, I tried it both
ways with the same result.

It seems reasonably clear, add a namespace:
       XmlElement docNode = rssDoc.CreateElement("rss");

       XmlAttribute attr = rssDoc.CreateAttribute("version");

       attr.Value = "2.0";

       docNode.Attributes.Append(attr);

       XmlAttribute attr1 = rssDoc.CreateAttribute("xmlns:g");

       attr1.Value = "http://base.google.com/ns/1.0";

       docNode.Attributes.Append(attr1);

       rssDoc.AppendChild(docNode);

Which produces this:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">

A bit further along I attempt to use the namespace:

       workNode = rssDoc.CreateElement("g:currency");

       workNode.InnerText = thisItem.Currency;

       itemNode.AppendChild(workNode);

       workNode = rssDoc.CreateElement("g:price");

       workNode.InnerText = thisItem.Price;

       itemNode.AppendChild(workNode);

Which works fine except that it strips out the "g:" and produces this:

 <currency>USD</currency>
 <price>$20.00</price>

I In the debugger it shows g as the Prefix and currency as the LocalName and
g:currency as Name. The default output is clearly LocalName, but it should
be Name. How do I do it?
