Namespaces?  If your document contains namespaced data (TEI P5 for example)
you must bind a namespace prefix to the relevant items in order to get the
matches you expect. And that prefix (which can be anything)  *does* have to
be properly bound to the namespace identifier as used in your document. Just
using the same prefix as in your document in your query without binding it
to right identifier won't work. Doing the binding via a REST GET might be
tricky, so I'd suggest submitting via a PUT instead.

I mean it's just possible that recent modifications to the REST i/f, made
after my current build, broke something.

I sincerely hope that a server with an RFC 1918 address like 10.1.1.41 isn't
"on-line" outside your LAN, at least not on that interface, otherwise the
Internet is in even a worse state than the pundits at Davos have been saying
over the past few days.

You could try running that same query against the eXist demo server on the
main site and comparing the results against your installation.
