But if you put all the elements in the same namespace the same would be 
true except there would be far less namespace problems to worry about, 
What you refer to as an "xpath issue" isn't really anything to do with 
namespaces it is just the extra complication introduced by having two 
namespaces (or rather a namespace and the no-namespace) rather than the 
much simpler and more common choice of having all the related elements 
in the same namespace.
