That is the part that still doesn't make sense to me. How is PsychoPath
determining what the "default function namespace" is? Magic? :-) We don't
set it anywhere.

Put another way, if XML Schema provided a way for users to specify the
default function namespace (e.g. another attribute like
xpathDefaultNamespace but applies to function names instead of element
names) how could you set it with PsychoPath? Is this something that's
missing from its API?

Thanks.
