Right. The default namespace in the stylesheet only applies to literal result
elements, not XPath expressions or XSLT match patterns. In an XSLT match
pattern or an XPath expression, no prefix means no namespace, and if you need
to use a non-null namespace, you have to use a prefix. Whenever you use a
prefix, no matter where it is, of course it must be bound to a namespace name
(URI) in that same document.
