Hi Elliote,
sorry but I can't understand exactly what you try to tell me. Can you give me some kind of example about what's correct and what's not with default namespaces and Xpaths?
For instance, imagine I want to select a node from a XML with a default namespace using a XPath expresion.
Should be this default namespace prefixed or not? I suspect from your response that it should be prefixed if I want to use a XPath _expression_ to select a node inside it, is this correct?
So, it will be not possible to select a node with XPath if the default namespace is not prefixed. Do you agree with that?
Thank you very much again,
Ivan

The default namespace never applies within XPath expressions. You need
to use prefixed names in the XPath expressions even if you use
unprefixed names in the document. XPath matches by namespace URI, not by
prefix.
