the xpath //span[class='rtm_due_value'] should return Sat 7 Nov 15 but it does not because of the namespace. I am trying to get this using the XML import function in google sheets so registering a namespace is not an option. Any chance you could change the atom format to bind the namespace? Right now I will be stuck doing something like this:
/*[local-name()='root']/*[local-name()='parent' and @attribute='A'] and it is problematic at best

The xml of my sample was parsed by the blog ... useless! Ah well.

I figured it out::
title = "/*//*[local-name()='entry']/*[local-name()='title']"
due date = "/*//*[local-name()='span' and @class='rtm_due_value']"
