Using SelectionNamespaces to rewrite prefixes

[jargo]

Hello, I would like to assign a prefix alias to a URI.
After having done that if I loop through a message node by node doing something like:
get_nodeName
get_firstChild
get_nodeType
get_nodeValue

When I get the value I would like to have it return the new prefix not the old. (the prefix alias is what I want).

I know there are allot of properties like resolveExternals and validate on parse. I have played around with setting few of these but, I always get back node names containing the original prefix, not the alias's I set using the SelectionNamespaces property. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. -J

Correction:

"When I get the value I would like to have it return the new prefix not the old. (the prefix alias is what I want)."

I meant:

When I get the NODE NAME back I want to returned with the new prefix.

Thanks J
