effect of namespace on collection function; weird

[David Lee]

In hindsight, that's too bad  :(
In most of the cases where I work with XML with namespaces, I'm generating 
in a different namespaces (or none) then I am querying.
My own experience would suggest that's the common, not the outlying case.
