Hi Mike,
here is a small example code which hopefully demonstrates my problem.
Every time when I add a new element, the XPath result list is empty.
The same XPath query after reading the document yields the expected
elements.
As you can see in the code, I used NamespaceContext/NamespaceURI but that
seems to have no effect at all.
But if you remove the namespace from the "xml:lang" attribute (keeping just
"lang") in the document and in the XPath query then everything is ok.
I don't know why.
Andreas
