Hi Gregor,  Actually, it doesn't mean that you can't match
elements that are in the default namespace.  For an example, see
[1]   In the first code example, the Signature is in the default
namespace of &dsig;.  However, the XPath expression has the dsig
prefix declared, and the match to the Signature is done using
dsig:Signature.  Thus, matching elements in the default
namespace can be done by setting up a prefix with the same URI
as the default namespace.  Incidentally, if [1] resolves to a
draft that mentions the subexpression (//. | //@* |
//namespace::*), note that you no longer need this subexpression
as a result of the change of processing model.  John Boyer
