In other words: > The behaviour you describe has _nothing_ to do with whether namespaces in the source use or don't use a prefix. Unprefixed names in Xpath always refer to elements in no-namespace, prefixed names refer to elements in a namespace, so to access a namespaced element you always have to use some prefix. You don't have to use a prefix related to the prefixes that may be used in the source. an Xpath of /foo doesn't match an element foo if the default namespace is non-null, this is just the same as an xpath of /x:foo doesn't match an element x:foo if the x prefix is bound to a different namespace in the source.
