R help - May 2014 - XML pkg. Namespace message

I am getting messages like:

Namespace prefix ccd on el-418bd009-f19a-4107-bc7b-2abb83748bbb is not defined
Namespace prefix mlhim244 on interval-type is not defined


when retrieving nodesets like this:
pct <- getNodeSet(root,
'//ccd:el-6acf3ae9-222c-4f71-8120-76375db84177',
nsDEF)

nsDEF is defined as:

nsDEF <- function(){
  return(c(ccd='http://www.mlhim.org/ccd',mlhim244='
http://www.mlhim.org/xmlns/mlhim2/2_4_4'))
}

Which clearly has both namespaces defined and they match the definitions in
the XML.

The returned nodesets are correct. In fact, when I do not see these
messages, I know that I have a namespace problem.

So my questions is: Are these normal return messages?  They sure look like
error messages.

Thanks for any clarification.
