You can put your XPath in a function call--that way it will not have a
parent namespace to inherit. Something like this:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare function local:get-xpath($node as node()) as node()*
{ $node/one/two/text() };
let $doc := doc('/blah.xml')
return
<a xmlns="http://myns";>
<b>{ local:get-xpath($doc) }</b>
</a>

Typo, <a xmlns="http://some/namespace";><b/></a> should be <a
xmlns="http://myns";><b/></a>.
