That looks right, and libxml2 has the xmlns() scheme support compiled in if xpointer. However I don't see any test in the regression suite covering xmlns(), the code in xpointer.c looks fine though, it registers the binding in the XPath context. If you could make a tiny example showing the problem with xmllint ... Might be broken though: paphio:~/XML -> cat test.xml <bar xmlns="http://foo/"/> paphio:~/XML -> testXPath --xptr 'xmlns(foo=http://foo/)xpointer(//foo:bar)' test.xml Object is empty (NULL) Object is a Node Set : Set contains 0 nodes: paphio:~/XML -> testXPath --xptr 'xpointer(//foo:bar)' test.xml XPath error : Undefined namespace prefix Object is empty (NULL) Object is a Node Set : Set contains 0 nodes: paphio:~/XML -> Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
