You can, but it will require a bit of work. The namespace-prefix
(and namespace-schema) mapping is not preserved in the object
model. But it is available in the raw DOM representation. So
what you can do is break the parsing process into two stages:
XML-to-DOM and DOM-to-object model. In between the two stages
you can extract the namespace mapping attributes from the DOM 
document using the Xerces-C++ API. For code that shows how to
set up XML-to-DOM parsing, see, for instance, the 'messaging'
example.
