Copy link 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open document with <html xmlns='http://some-namespace'>...</html>
2. open firepath
3. enter //div

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect many divs to be displayed


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest, windows xp, firefox 3.6.15


Please provide any additional information below.
Even if I do "copy XPath" from the document, still no nodes are found for that 
expression.
//* works as expected
//*[name()='div'] also works as expected
it seems using xmlns is the culprit, there needs to be a way to register a 
default namespace, or use have a hard coded prefix for default namespace.
