I have simple XML document: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <root xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <date>BBB</date> <name>CCC</name> </root>

I need to select name value "CCC", by date value "BBB".It works fine for next XPATH:

/root[date=BBB]/name

But as long as i have namespace declared i can not upper XPATH. For this case i know it is possible to use local-name() function. But if i write next expression

/*[local-name() = 'root[date=BBB]']/*/*[local-name() = 'name']

It does not work.

Replacing any QName test for *[local-name()='...'] in

/root[date='BBB']/name

You should use:

/*[local-name() = 'root'][*[local-name()='date']='BBB'] /*[local-name() = 'name']

But for this case I would use:

/*[*[local-name()='date']='BBB']/*[local-name() = 'name']

A little shorter with a "whatever root element".
