While this resolves the immediate problem, it doesn't solve the basic 
problem, as Ko points out.  Oracle is not the only system that doesn't like 
elements in different parts of the document to have the same name, even 
though it is perfectly legal XML.   In fact, the Microsoft engine that used 
to be in IE would regularly barf on it, although newer versions appear to be 
OK.

The only thing to take from this is that it is wise to use names that are 
not terribly generic when creating schemas.  (or use market pressure, but 
look at the size of these guys!)
