RE: Unqualified elment - but still have prefix at the root

The Libray and Book elements are declared in different namespaces. 
The instance document has to distinguish between the namespaces in use
somehow. 
So one of them must have a prefix to achieve this.

The instance document is valid against your schema. I don't know whether the
Altova tool gives you any choice over the use of namespace prefixes, you
will have to consult the Altova documentation or support. But any user of
this XML document shouldn't care about the allocation of prefixes - it's
only the namespaces that are significant. So the question is: why does it
matter? Because if it does matter, then there is something wrong with your
application requirement.
