Is there any way to declare a namespace that is equal to the empty namespace so 
you can then use it in a xpath?

Errors on empty string
declare namespace empty = "";
/empty:some-element

Take that back, its a pain but try this:   Its not *exactly* what you want but 
sometimes works.
*:name resolves to all namespaces including the empty one.


xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare default element namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";;

let $x :=
<body><mine xmlns="">No NS></mine><p>hello world</p></body>

return $x//*:mine

Not to my knowledge..
I opened a W3C  XQuery feature request for this a while back

If you set the default element namespace with "declare default element 
namespace 'some-url'; " is there a way still xpath against the empty namespace?

Thanks,
