It'd be OK if there was a type "like xs:string, but understands the
current namespace context" but there isn't. (Of course, once you
extract the XPath from its context document you then need to remember
to explicitly get the NS context from somewhere, which is almost
certainly the root of the problem in the message that started this
thread.)
