/ns2:postcode/text() will extract the text from an element with a local name of 'postcode' and a namespace of "http://wwwxxx.nl/xxxF/xr/x/x";. The XPath evaluator does not interpret the ns2 prefix in the document, so it cannot match the namespace. /*[local-name()='postcode']/ will find any element whose local name is 'postcode', regardless of namespace.
