Daniel,

Thanks a lot for your explanations! I think now I understand the main 
problem:

> namespace nodes have no parent in libxml2 XPath implementation

You mentioned that this is supposed to complain with XPath 2.0 however, 
the current
standard XPath 1.0 has it. Will it be possible to implement this? This 
will require
propagating namespace declaration from parents I also mentioned:

<doc 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org";>                                                
<e1 
xmlns:w3c="http://www.w3.org"/>                                         
</doc>

/ > ls (//namespace::*)[parent::e1]

should return both  xmlns="http://www.w3.org"; and 
xmlns:w3c="http://www.w3.org";
