I think --pattern in xmllint is actually for an XPath expression; since
XPath itself gives no way to bind a prefix to a URI, you are stuck with
    //*[local-name() = "b" and namespace-uri() = "http://....";]

Note that actual prefixes are not significant, only the element name and
URI are significant, in XML, XSD, XPath etc.
