The definition of XPath 1.0 says
"A QName in the node test is expanded into an expanded-name using the
namespace declarations from the expression context. This is the same
way expansion is done for element type names in start and end-tags
except that the default namespace declared with xmlns is not used: if
the QName does not have a prefix, then the namespace URI is null (this
is the same way attribute names are expanded). It is an error if the
QName has a prefix for which there is no namespace declaration in the
expression context."
As implementor of a program which uses XPath expressions to refer to
XML elements (the XPath expressions being sometimes embedded within
XML instance documents, sometimes supplied by other means), it seems
useful to me to let the program supply a default namespace (if
relevant) to the XPath expressions (*) and for XPath to be able to use
it for unprefixed names.
(*) or even let a larger environment than the XML instance document
determine what an unprefixed element means. For example if two
documents are visible, each wholly within its own namespace, with
top elements respectively "top1" and "top2", the expression
"/top1" would be unique without mentioning the namespace.
But the quoted text above seems to perhaps disallow this, forcing the
interpretation of an unprefixed name to imply the null namespace
instead of a defaulted one. Is that really the case?
(XSLT does enforce this, as does the program 'xmlstarlet', but this
of course does not prove anything one way or the other.)

Yes, with XPath 1.0 a name without a prefix selects an element or
attribute in no namespace.
With XPath 2.0 which is now a W3C recommendation things are different,
it introduces a default element/type namespace
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#dt-def-elemtype-ns>
and that way a name without a prefix can select an element in that
default element namespace:

When I import an xml document in Visual studio and Genereate as schema
from it, and create a dataset from it, it adds this line into to the
root element of my xml file -
"xmlns="http://tempuri.org/nameOfRoot.xsd"
I have no idea what its pointing to & what is tempuri.org?
So when this tag is in my xml tag my xpath query never works.
But when I delete it work fine.

OK, here's the deal. I have a small XML file that represents a small
database table. I load it into a System.XML.XMLDocument. So far so good.
I run an XPath query against it to retrieve all the field names. Everything
there works fine.
Here's my XML Document:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
