I thought it would be reasonable to assume that an unqualified
element name in an xpath expression would automatically belong to the
No, it would be unreasonable and completely different from the way
that other namespaces work. Any prefixes declared in the source are
irrelevant to Xpaths used in the stylesheet, and the same is true of "no
prefix".
because you can't create to many aliases like "a" "b"
with the empty String "" ;-)).
the namespace prefixes are not aliases for an empty string they stand
for the xhtml namespace.
