I'm not doing any strange regexping, and everything I read on XPath and
default namespace seems to point that XPath expressions are not compatible
between a document without a default namespace (API 1.17) and a document
with a default namespace (API 1.18).
Comment #12 on bug 24781 is about the same problem : the change breaking
code using XPath expressions.
