  Following the XPath spec as far as I can tell.

   http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#namespace-nodes
   "Each element has an associated set of namespace nodes, one for each
    distinct namespace prefix that is in scope for the element (including
    the xml prefix, which is implicitly declared by the XML Namespaces
    Recommendation [XML Names]) and one for the default namespace if one
    is in scope for the element."

Read the spec, then raise an issue iif you think libxml2 behaviour
deviates from the spec, thanks.
