I can't remember if jQuery supports namespaced elements, however have
you tried to select them including their namespace?
It works for elements with unusual characters in there ids. From the FAQ:
// Does not work
$("#some.id")
// Works!
$("#some\\.id")
http://docs.jquery.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_do_I_select_an_element_that_has_weird_characters_in_its_ID.3F
So you could try
$("lib\\:catalog > lib\\:book",xml)
