You can, but it gets rather ugly:
doc.selectSingleNode("//*[namespace-uri()='NAMESPACE' and
local-name()='what']"
+ "/*[namespace-uri()='NAMESPACE' and local-name()='ever']");
Most likely you'll be able to omit the test for namespace-uri and just
test on the local name, but it still won't win any beauty contests.
