I'd call it a design choice, rather than an artificial restriction. It could have been done differently. We chose to depart from relying entirely on the XML-level namespace bindings in the case of xpath-default-namespace. Doing it differently would have had some negatives, like <a:element/> not meaning the same as <xs:element name="a:element"/>. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
