[XSLTalk] Namespace + XPath

All,

I have an Xpath problem which I had cured but unfortunately the namespaces 
have changed and my Xpath no longer works.  I have the following XML:

<GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
	<EnvelopeVersion>1.0</EnvelopeVersion>
	<Header>
		<MessageDetails>
			<Class>ADM-address-request</Class>
			<Qualifier>request</Qualifier>
			<TransactionID>L9MLHH1FB25F</TransactionID>
			<CorrelationID>296</CorrelationID>
			<GatewayTimestamp>2003-07-15T14:00:04</GatewayTimestamp>
		</MessageDetails>
	</Header>
	<Body>
		<AddressRequest xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/gateway/addressrequest">
			<ServiceName>QES-ORG</ServiceName>
			<Key Type="ruref">49900011596T</Key>
		</AddressRequest>
	</Body>
</GovTalkMessage>

I want to say:

sRURef=oDOM.selectSingleNode("GovTalkMessage/Body/AddressRequest/Key[@Type='ruref']").text

This works fine when I remove the Namespaces.  But obviously in a real world 
scenario this is not applicable.  I went through this before and it was 
something to do with the default namespace and MSXML4.

I have added the following code:

sNameSpaces = "xmlns:ar='http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope'"
oDOM.setProperty "SelectionNamespaces", sNameSpaces

and then try and use xpath like so

sRURef=oDOM.selectSingleNode("ar:GovTalkMessage/Body/AddressRequest/Key[@Type='ruref']").text

but still I get the same error.

Can anyone help me out.  Also what do I do about the locally declared 
namespace on the <AddressRequest> tag.

Any help at all greatly appreciated.

Paul
