In XPath, you cannot match elements in a default namespace unless you map a 
prefix to that namespace and use the prefix in the node test.  This is per the 
recommendation and is not a bug.  It is also a FAQ.  See:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#node-tests

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-11

However, it's certainly a bug if Xalan is not reporting an error parsing your 
XPath, as ":one" and ":two" are not valid node tests.

By the way, "asdf" and "qwer" are relative URIs, and as such, are not 
officially supported.  You should use absolute namespace URIs.
