The thing is that the search result and underlying elements are namespaced 
to "http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0".  Now I read somewhere that jxpath 
expressions pick up the namespace prefix mappings that are found in the 
jxtemplate.  This would mean that an expression as
#{$pageXml/d:searchResult/d:rows/d:row} should work (if the prefix d is 
declared in the jxtemplate) but sadly it doesn't.  Perhaps someone on the 
list with more cocoon knowledge might tell us what's up here.
