Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2007-01-31 07:10:32 PST 
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-XPath/xpath.html#NamespaceNodes>.

From my testing, it seems that Firefox 2.0 also doesn't support namespace nodes, while Opera's support appears buggy.

test case

Test looks OK to me. To turn it into a layout test it would be better if it was a simple "pass/fail".

Maybe you're looking for someone who has read the XPath specification more carefully to tell you if you did something wrong -- if so, sorry for marking this reviewed.

Oops - sorry! All I meant was to attach a test to the bug; must have marked assigned and r? out of habit :-/

This is almost certainly a WONTFIX, namespace nodes are pure evil.
Comment 5 Alexey Proskuryakov 2011-04-25 16:49:00 PDT 
And let's just do that.
