So, just to see if I get this right: A default namespace like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test xmlns="test">
  <container-abc>
  ...
  </container-abc>
</test>

leaves the container-abc element only reachable by some non-abbreviated
syntax like:
    //*[name()="container-abc"]

but here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test xmlns="test" xmlns:t="test">
  <container-abc>
  ...
  </container-abc>
</test>

I would get results with
    //t:container-abc

Is that right?
