Sorry about the misunderstanding. I am not too sure about this solution, it doesn't seem to be very transparent. It might work in 99% of the cases but it just doesn't seem right to implement a specific case for a default namespaces on a root-node. > The example of what I'd be breaking is that 'child' would not have any > results against the following case(Right now the child node WOULD be > returned by Jaxen because non-specified namespaces are ALWAYS assumed to > be "", which is just weird).
