There's no prefix on the Report element so it's in the default namespace.
The default namespace is indicated via an xmlns 'attribute' (with no prefix)
on the element or one of its parents. So in this case it's:
xmlns="Data_Feed"
That's what you'd see if you examined xDoc.DocumentElement.NamespaceURI in
the debugger.

The other namespace declaration has a prefix attached, xmlns1, so that
only pertains to nodes with a p1 prefix such as the p1:schemaLocation
attribute.

As an aside using p1 as a prefix is perfectly legal but a little unusual,
most examples using the schema instance namespace,
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance, use xsi as the prefix.
