In the absence of a qualifier, the default dictionary is used by software to
resolve qualified names used as values of various attributes. Dictionaries
are declared in the Metadata element, which can be placed inside any
resource element.

<Metadata>
   <Dictionary xmlns='uri of default document'/>
   <Dictionary xmlns:myDict='uri of private dictionary'/>
   <Dictionary xmlns:ourTPA='uri of dictionary named in TPA'/>
   <Dictionary xmlns:edifact='uri of un/edifact dictionary'/>
</Metadata>

I don't understand the code '10' issue at all...
