Because they could be set differently at different places in the 
document, and/or whatever generated your XPath might have different 
prefixes bound to those namespaces or vice versa. You need to provide a 
context so the system knows what you meant.

Some processors will let you specify a context node and will pick up the 
namespaces defined there. Again, check your docs.

I don't know xml_grep, so I can't advise. It may be assuming the root 
node as the context if not told otherwise. Or it may be flat-out broken 
and not processing namespaces correctly.

Say what you mean. The system can't read your mind, and shouldn't try.
