If you layer something above namespaces that dereferences a resource or uses rdf or something then it is clear that you need to make the URI ansolute at that point. But xpath does not do that it is just an interface for asking the question "what is the namespace name of the current node?" It does not make sense for the answer returned to differ from the answer you get from the namespace spec. David
