It may be namespace-related, although parsing as HTML shouldn't impose namespaces on the document, unlike parsing XHTML, say. One thing you can try is to start with a simpler query and to expand it. Start with the expression "//XML" and add things to make the results more specific. Generally, namespaces can make XPath queries awkward because you have to qualify the element names and define the namespaces for each of the prefixes used. Let me know how you get on!
