That is chapter in no-namespace so would be accessed with an xpath of

/chapter

> 	<chapter  xmlns="http://docbook.org/docbook-ng" xmlns:ad="http://myhome/technical_topic"


That is chapter in teh docbook namespace so would be accessed by an
xpath of

/d:chapter

where d is defined on (say) xsl:stylesheet to be

xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/docbook-ng"


Note that docbok up to version 4 was in no-namepsace, docbook version 5
is in a namespace but I believe the correct namespace is

http://docbook.org/ns/docbook


I think 

http://docbook.org/docbook-ng

was a temprary namespace used while they were working on the first
drafts of a relax ng defined version of docbook.
