I'm trying to find all the XML elements that match abc:xyz, using the
evaluateXPathExpression function.

This works beautifully if I just have local tag names, <abc ...>.
However, I can't find any way to get the namespace matching to work.
I've tried

var xpath = "//xyz"'
var prefixMatchingTable = [["abc", "http://www.abc.com"]];
var elems = root.evaluateXPathExpression(xpath, prefixMatchingTable);

but this returns nothing.  I've tried with and without the
prefixMatchingTable argument, and with and without including the
actual prefix, "abc:" in the xpath.  None of these permutations seems
to work.

Any examples or info on this?

Thanks!
