My understanding is that namespace::* returns an empty node-set for all context
nodes except when the context node is an element.  For element nodes it should
always return a node-set with at least one namespace node, the node representing
the "built-in" namespace (prefix="xml",
uri="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";), plus a node for each namespace
that's been declared in the element itself or any of it's ancestors.
