#27709 [NEW]: SimpleXML xpath function doesn't like default namespaces

Bug description: SimpleXML xpath function doesn't like default namespaces
Description:
------------
Hi,
this example works with SimpleXML xpath:
$string = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding ="UTF-8" ?>
<a xmlns:ns="urn:1">
<b>
<c>text</c>
<c>stuff</c>
</b>
<d>
<c>code</c>
</d>
</a>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
$res = $xml->xpath('//a'); // returns array(1)
But if we don't use a namespace prefix (default namespace), xpath, returns
an empty array, array(0), for any xpath search:
$string = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding ="UTF-8" ?>
<a xmlns="urn:1">
<b>
<c>text</c>
<c>stuff</c>
</b>
<d>
<c>code</c>
</d>
</a>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
$res = $xml->xpath('//a'); // returns array(0)
This is a simple example, I found the problem with a bigger XML file (a
WSDL file). This WSDL has 5 namespaces defined, and no problem at all with
SimpleXML, as long as you don't define a default namespace...
Thanks for your attention
