  Yes, that means libxml2 XPath engine is compliant to the
W3C XPath specification.  controlpoint nodes are in a namespace
defined by your xmlns="" on the root.
   //controlpoint
doesn't match namespaced nodes with a local name 'controlpoint'
they have an expanded-name different from the one specified by the test.

  time to read the spec !
