Re: [Xmlstar-devel] c14n xpath

[Keith B. <KSB...@lb...>]

Thank you very much!

I realize that this is somewhat off-topic but I'm suprised at the need 
for the namespace declarations in the XPath element.  The same info is 
in the xml doc...  Is this repetition something required by xpath or is 
an artifact of xmlstar's or libxml's API?

Any recommendations on good xpath docs, appreciated.

Thanks,
ksb
