So that is XHTML and that means, if the document is parsed by an XML 
parser, that you need to bind a prefix to the namespace URI and use that 
prefix in your XPath expressions.

That is rather odd, with the namespace declaration being present on the 
root element. How do you parse the document, which XPath API do you use? 
Is that XPath over HTML, as some browsers like Mozilla or Opera provide?
