xml selection of tags with namespace prefixes

Hi,

I have a JSP file which fetches XML from a web service and parses
accordingly.  The response XML document has elements with prefixes in them,
like:

...
<gml:name>Biggar</gml:name>
...

When I try to access this, i.e.:

<x:out
select="$doc/PostalCodeLookup/PostalCodeResultSet/PostalCode/gml:name"/>

..no value is present.  This behaviour works fine with xpaths with no tags
containing prefixes, of course.

Any idea how to get this working with tags containing prefixes?

Thanks alot

..Tom

Does just using "name" in the XPath work?
