public interface NamespaceContext
The prefixes used within an XPath expression are independant of those used within any target document. When evaluating an XPath against a document, only the resolved namespace URIs are compared, not their prefixes.
A NamespaceContext is responsible for
translating prefixes as they appear in XPath expressions
into URIs for comparison. A document's prefixes are
resolved internal to the document based upon its own
namespace nodes.

String translateNamespacePrefixToUri(String prefix)
In XPath, there is no such thing as a 'default namespace'. The empty prefix always resolves to the empty namespace URI.
