Hi, 

sorry but it dit not work as descript.

I use a workaround and add for the default namespace the prefix "default". 
Now my "selection Namespace" property was set to

xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" 
xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron" 
xmlns:std="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:smil20="http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/" 
xmlns:smil20lang="http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/Language" 
xmlns:default="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

but I can't select something like "//element" but "//default:element" works 
fine. My preview settings was the folling code snipe. You can see the 
declaration for the default namespace in the last row. As describte below it 
also does not work.

xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" 
xmlns:sch="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron" 
xmlns:std="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:smil20="http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/" 
xmlns:smil20lang="http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/Language" 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

Are there any ideas or succestions?

Thanks

Alexander
