Originally reported on Google Code with ID 1694

Selenium should support something like the following methods:

Selenium.registerXPathNamespace(String prefix, String uri)
WebDriver.Options.registerXPathNamespace(String prefix, String uri)

Because of XPath 1.0 limitations, it is convoluted to execute XPath against documents
that make use of a default namespace. BrowserBot has a hardcoded 'x' namespace prefix
for XHTML, but implementations of WebDriver don't, and neither expose convenient APIs
to register other namespaces or namespace resolvers.

Is there some workaround for this issue? Because selenium IDE (1.x) works well with
'x' namespace prefix for XHTML. So there exists a group of tests that cannot be transferred/converted
into webdriver.

Is this feature/enhancement already in some release plan?

Thanks.
