If you want to create an element in a certain namespace then you need to 
use a namespace aware creation method. I am not sure which DOM 
implementation you use with x++, if that is MSXML then you need to use
   interchange = XMLDocOR.createNode(1, "Interchange", 
"http://example.com/foo")
where http://example.com/foo is the namespace URI.
You need to take that approach for all elements to be created in that 
namespace so if you want to create any child elements then you need to 
use the same approach e.g.
   bar = XMLDocOR.createNode(1, "bar", "http://example.com/foo")
   interchange.appendChild(bar)

If you are using the .NET DOM implementation then you don't need to use 
createNode, instead then there is a namespace aware overload of 
createElement e.g.
   interchange = XMLDocOR.createElement("Interchange", 
"http://example.com/foo")
   bar = XMLDocOR.createElement("bar", "http://example.com/foo")
   interchange.appendChild(bar)

There is no need to create xmlns attribute.
