How do I reliably match the "elem" element in both of the below
documents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8?>
<p:example xmlns:p="something">
  <elem>value</elem>

This 'elem' element is in no namespace.


</p:example>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8?>
<p:example xmlns:p="something">
  <p:elem>value</p:elem>

This 'p:elem' element is in the namespace 'something'.


With XPath 2.0 you can use
  *:elem
to select elements with local name 'elem' in any namespace.
With XPath 1.0 you can only use
  *[local-name() = 'elem']
