A regression was introduced in r17: namespace prefixes failed to be evaluated in IE9 and IE10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The use of an XPath expression with some namespace prefixes doesn't work 
anymore in r17. This affects IE9 and IE10.

This concerns prefixes declared in the XML document, not the default namespaces.

The attached file contains an example that reproduces the problem.

• Merged into: Support for XMLDocument as well as document? #7

• prefix.html

The library is intended to be used with HTML documents, not XML documents. IE 
has native support for XML documents with the selectNodes() method. See #6 in 
http://code.google.com/p/wicked-good-xpath/issues/detail?id=5&can=1 for details.

It is a feature request to support XML documents. IE already has native support 
for XML documents, but we could theoretically provide access to those methods 
via document.evaluate.
