Your hr element is in the http://www.a.com namespace, not the > http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace. So ion the second case XMLSpy > is correct. But the hr element has a default namespace declaration on it, for the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace. The scope of a namespace declaration is the element that it's on and the contents of that element, so the default namespace declaration in scope on the hr element is the one for http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml, and thus the hr element is in the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. Whether the XPath: //html:hr should retrieve it is, of course, another matter, since it entirely depends on the namespace associated with the prefix 'html' in the context in which the XPath is being used...
