Just think of the namespace as part of the name (that's the way xpath
thinks of it) You need to use /title not /itel even if the parent
element's name begins with t, the t isn't inherited and  needs to be
explicit in the xpath. Its the same with namespaces, whether or not the
parent is in a namespace is irrelevant, to access title in the namespace 
bound to ws: you always need to use ws:title in xpath.
