Namespace URI's are hierarchical already, so all it would take is prefix
matching. I briefly suggested this when namespaces first came out and again
in more detail in a couple of posts last week.
Upon further reflection, it wouldn't even need a modification to XPath
(although such a modification could make prefix matching cleaner). As far as
I can tell, all you would need to do is something like:
p[starts-with(namespace-uri(),"http://www.w3.org/xhtml1/")]
