[Bug] Unable to add colon to XPath queries

[vaknin]

Description While receiving an XML response and attempting to filter the response using XPath, if the path contains a colon inside of it, "Invalid XPath query" error will be thrown, although it is a valid path, for example //s:path

Example The following response is impossible to query: <s:Envelope> <s:Body> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>

If now I will query the following: //s:Envelope I will get the Invalid XPath query error.

Info According to the XPath 3.1 documentation and according to various desktop and online XML editors it is a valid query. Though from what I understand, the npm package xpath is using XPath1.0, might that be the issue?
