Hi Sean, David, We added support for defining in options proxy to namespace mappings that will take precedence over the ones defined in the document so basically now any namespace can be accessible via a proxy without the need to define that proxy in the document. The current version of oXygen (5.1) detects a default namespace and maps that to the first available proxy from {default, default1, etc.} but in the case Sean mentioned default:CVSRepository does not work because there is another default namespace for an element before the CVSRepository element and default is mapped to that.

Using the following document as a study http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/doctable/doaproll.rdf

My question is how to perform an XPath that will return all CVSRepository nodes. I try //CVSRepository and get "XPath returned no results".

Any hints should be documented and added to Oxygen Help.

The problem is an XPath one and not an oXygen one. In your XML document, each "<Project>" element is assigned to a namespace without a prefix, making it impossible to find its subelements using XPath. Try adding this attribute to your root RDF element:

xmlns:prj="http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/faux-doap"

then you can use the XPath expression

//prj:CVSRepository

and find the elements.
