XPath xPath = XPath.newInstance("//foo:C");
xPath.addNamespace("foo", "http://www.somewhere.com");
List<Element> elements = xPath.selectNodes(document);

XPath does not support any default namespace. The namespace prefix in the
XPath expression does not have to match the one used in the document, only the
namespace URI is checked.
