Hi Roan, Thanks for the infos. As I pointed out in an other thread, it's completely breaking my own tool.
XPath expressions with or without default namespaces are completely different, and I don't find a way to deal properly with both 1.17 and 1.18 API. Googling for "XPath default namespace" returns a lot of pages where it's explained that code has to be modified to parse XML documents with a default namespace, and the parsing is different if you don't have a default namespace.
