Multi-namespace xpath queries not functioning!

           Summary: Multi-namespace xpath queries not functioning!
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.3
          Platform: HP
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xpath
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: fvillarreal@directhitdata.com


When using the ...

public static Node selectSingleNode(Node contextNode,
                                    java.lang.String str,
                                    Node namespaceNode)
or

public static Node selectSingleNode(Node contextNode,
                                    java.lang.String str)

methods of XPathAPI or CachedXPathAPI on a Document object that contains 
multiple namespaces ... the method returns null every time! 
For instance, take the following markup ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<parent parentId="123">
<parms targetNamespace="http://foo.com/" xmlns="http://foo.com/">
<foo><name>foo</name></foo>
</parms>
</parent>

The following XPathAPI query returns null!

Document doc = DocumentBuilder.parse("pathtofoo.xml");
Element elParent = doc.getDocumentElement();
Element elName = XPathAPI.selectSingeNode(elParent, "parent/foo/name");

i've also tried ...

Element elName = XPathAPI.selectSingeNode(elParent, "parent/foo/name", 
elParent);

still returns null!  Any clues?
