AFAIK when you don't put prefixes in an XPath expression it should just
match on local name only (i.e. ignores prefixes). So I think thats correct
behaviour. Do you think it should behave otherwise?

Well spotted Nicolas, you found a bug! Many thanks.
I've just patched the code and checked it into CVS so XPath expressions
using namespace prefixes should work now.
I've also added a JUnit test case that should ensure this stays working
(though I'm sure the JUnit test case could be improved somewhat). If you're
interested its in src/test/org/dom4j/xpath/TestPrefix.java
The daily build should include these fixes also so if you upgrade to either
the current CVS image or the daily build you should have this problem fixed
for you. The 0.5 release will happen some time this week so this patch will
make it into a stable release number soon.
