NameSpaces in Spry XmlDataSet

Question

Hi all, I'm trying to consume an XML document that contains
tags that have a
custom namespace prefix.
Specifically I'm trying to make Spry work with Simple list
extensions (
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/xml/bb190612.aspx
Here's a snip from the XML File (plain rss + SLE)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:cf="
http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005">
<channel>
<cf:treatAs>list</cf:treatAs>
<cf:listinfo>
<cf:sort label="Title" default="true" />
<cf:sort element="item/title" label="Title"
data-type="string" />
<cf:sort element="item/pubDate" label="Date"
data-type="date" />
<cf:group element="item/category" label="Category" />
</cf:listinfo>
</channel>
</rss>
How should I tell spry there's a namespace to consider?
I've looked in the docs but couldn't find any reference to
namespaces other
than the spry namespace itself.

Mkay must be somethin I'm doing wrong,
