No, the effect of the declaration xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3" is that all
unprefixed elements within the scope of this declaration are in the
namespace urn:hl7-org:v3. As I say, the elements are in a namespace, and the
only way in XPath 1.0 to access elements that are in a namespace is to bind
a prefix to that namespace and use prefixed element names in the XPath
expression.
