It requires that all imported schemas also use 
elementFormDefault="unqualified".  Since STC does not do this, it doesn't 
work for the STC elements.  If the voe schema does use it, then this xpath 
should work:

/voe:VOEvent/WhereWhen/ObsDataLocation/stc:ObservationLocation/stc:AstroCoords/stc:Position2D/stc:Value2/stc:C1

(which schema is ObsDataLocation in?  I forget.)

The VOResource records have the same issue.  You can go sans prefix until 
you get to the STC bits.

hope this helps,
Ray
