I'm not sure I've fully understood the context of the question being answered. In an XSLT stylesheet, one would simply declare a namespace for the default namespace in the input document and use that in XPath expressions: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:dft="http://mydomain/schemas" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"> <xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="count(//dft:FeatureCollection/gml:featureMember)"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Wouldn't you be able to do that when using XPath expressions outside XSLT?

  Sure. With additional namespace-binding infrastrucure of course.
  E.g. in MSXML there is SelectionNamespaces property and in .NET there is XmlNamespaceManager to facilitate exactly this issue.
