Namespace Nodes are re-declared from parent elements

David,

Started looking at doing a fix for this last night, and got ran into a 
problem.  The NodeTester object is being used to test each node prior to 
placing in the (from memory - no code in front of me) SubQueryResults list.  
The NodeTester tests seem fairly basic, but is there a case where a namespace 
definition might fail a test that the same local name will pass further up the 
tree?  (I know there are XPath expressions where this is the case, but not too 
sure how detailed the NodeTester checks are.)

E.g.

<foo xmlns:bar="uri1">
  <zoo xmlns:bar="uri2"/>
</foo>

Where some test that node tester does knocks out uri2, but would pass uri1.  If 
that's the case then I need to use a second NodeList to hold all found nodes 
and refer to that as adding uri1 into the list would be incorrect, even though 
the uri2 node was not selected.
