What you implemented is NOT XPath. You break the XPath semantic.
//foo CANNOT select a node which has a namespace even if it's a
default namespace. This is the #1 question of all XPath beginners, not
only you felt in the trap, apparently you didn't checked archives and
decided to implemnent a broken implementation instead, sounds positively
awful !

You copy a namespaced element node you gate a namespaced element node
the namespace is as important as the element name in a processor conformant
to XML namespace. You're asking to create a different element, not a copy !
