Support XML namespaces
XML namespaces have a purpose and are extremely useful in maintaining data. The Kendo framework not supporting these is absolute insanity. I'm not interested in rewriting half of my data feeds to support a framework. 

If Kendo is intended to be "the world's most complete HTML 5 UI Framework," it should be supporting something as basic as this. If there's a valid reason why not to do so, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for the additional explanation, Adam.

Indeed presently we don't support or have immediate plans to support xml namespaces with the Kendo UI DataSource. However, this can be reassessed based on the interest indicated in this functionality. 

I'll leave this thread open to monitor the votes and feedback regarding your suggestion, and align and prioritize the implementation as a result in the future.

Thanks for the reply.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the DataSource module. You can bind information from XML, but if the XML tags use namespaces (contain a : character), you are unable to use them. This seems like a pretty logical thing to be able to do, but it seems to have been denied in several places:

Thanks for the submission, Adam.

Given the JavaScript and Html nature of the Kendo UI framework, I would be interested to see how you would imagine UI jQuery widgets to support xml namespaces.

Can you provide an example of a jQuery UI library or popular jQuery plugins supporting XML namespaces? Thus we can evaluate our options to integrate with XML namespaces as well.
