As mentioned:

ignoring XML Namespace prefix part (not recommended)

with the local-name filter we ignore the namespace prefix

We recommend to scope 1 topic = 1 case. So other researches can better find solutions for their similar case.

With:

the origin case looks solved.

When new retrieval cases are to handle then open a new topic and share with us the XML as text file directly at the begin. Thanks for support
