I think theres a typeo in that bob, I think you meant to say....
XPaths *without* prefixes only match elements without namespaces.
For XPaths which use prefixes then the NamespaceContext used to evaluate the
namespace is used to turn those prefixes into namespace URIs and those URIs
are used when evaluating the XPath expression.
So XPaths with prefixes will only match nodes with namespaces (whether it
uses a prefix or the default namespace notation).
