[erlang-patches] [PATCH] Teach xmerl_xpath to resolve context namespaces in more cases

[Daniel White]

Anthony,

I thought I might have a chance to look at items mentioned above, but
there are many other issues competing for my attention, and this
doesn't scratch any of my itches.  Will keep it in mind if I'm passing
this way again, however.


Fredrik,

Has the applicable team been able to look at this?  We're hoping it is
minimal enough to see it in an R16 release.  As it stands, we need to
have unnecessarily complicated hacks in our codebase in order to work
around this problem.


Cheers,
