Ah, I see. Thanks for kicking me to the point.

I needed to switch namespace validation off for the point that libxml2
already indicates that DAV: is not a valid namespace URI. Therefore the
incorrect namespace test was not caught before and my manual consistency
checks resulted in the propnulls test failed, too.

I'll try to find another workaround to libxmls behaviour.

Toby
