Using contains() on element type name

[John Robert Gardner <John.Robert.Gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Short version, is it possible to use "contains()" on an element type name?

Or do I need to declare an arbitrary default namespace for the whole document, 
then use local-name() = contains(., 'something') 

Which, of course, I can't do b/c contains() returns a boolean true or false, and 
I have no local names equaling that, and I can't make contains() an arguement to 
local-name b/c it requires a nodeset.

So, if I have a whole bunch of elements called foo and bar, and only a few are 
foo.something, and bar.something, what am I missing in matching on them?
