Note Submitter: kermodebear (at) gmail dot com ---- If your document declares a namespace at all - even just a single default namespace (xmlns="etc"), you MUST register that namespace with XPath, and you MUST use that registered namespace in your query. For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <document xmlns="http://www.whatever.com/"> <foo> <bar>Text</bar> </foo> </document> //foo will not work - you will not be able to pull data from this document without registering the default namespace and making up a prefix for it. If you're attempting to process arbitrary XML documents and you don't know the namespaces beforehand (as I am in my application), use a bit of regex to pull them out then add them dynamically. I think this is pretty silly.
