I strip the namespace because 1) I'm not clear about what namespaces are for,
They define the meaning of a tag. A tag name like "p" can mean anything, whereas "{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}p"; is definitely, specifically and explicitly an (X)HTML text paragraph tag.

2) they make it harder to search, and
No, not really. Just use the qualified name ("{uri}tagname") instead of the plain name ("tagname").
3) I'm dealing with very simple XML files so it doesn't look like it makes a difference if I strip the ns from the source file.
