If trying to do an XPath search on a document which has a default namespace
defined e.g. <levelone xmlns="urn::hl7-org/cda" ...> the XPath engine will fail
to  find element "//levelone". If the default namespace is set to e.g. xmlns:cda
the "//levelone" will work. Even if I try to create a namespace resolver where I
set xmlns:cda to "urn::hl7-org/cda" I still cannot find anything with
"//cda:levelone".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
This behavior is by design on XPath 1.0.
