xmlSearchNsByHref() search the namespace in scope for node...
the declaration on <root> is still in scope on <second>, so searching
with node=<second> will return the same result as node=<first>.
The namespace of a node (if any) is node->ns, this is a pointer to
the namespace declaration (available from the nsDef list of the element
declaring it).
hope this clarifies the situation,
Daniel
