Why is irrKlang located in the namespace irr::io?

One namespace would have been enough, that's right. However, in Irrlicht, all classes for reading and writing data are organized in namespaces, and because irrXML has been designed to work closely with Irrlicht, it is easier this way. If you don't like namespaces, just add these two lines before you start using irrXML:

using namespace irr; 
using namespace io;
