So if I understand [1] correctly I have two options: 1) keep the implicit namespace declaration and use node()[local-name()='name_of_the_element'] 2) add an explicit namespace declaration and use its prefix (not some reference to its URI) in the extractor E.g. ns:title with ns declarated. as explicit namespace prefix in the document.
