I just have a look at the XPathNSResolver interface.
In the Selectors spec, the selector "elm" is equivalent to "*|elm" in
the case of a missing default namespace, but "ns|elm" where "ns" is
the default namespace if a default namespace is declared.
The XPathNSResolver interface specifically states that it must never
be called with a null or empty argument. I imagine the Selectors API
would want to be able to send a null argument as a way to ask for the
default namespace, or be given some equivalent functionality.
During our F2F I discussed this Jonas (he's the editor of DOM Level 3
XPath) and we're considering something like that, yes. Not sure yet if DOM
Level 3 XPath will allow it and say that for XPath related methods UAs
MUST do nothing or that Selectors API widens the scope of it. I hope the
former, but we'll see that when we get there. Thanks for raising it on the
list.
