I ended up looking at the code. I think, after I figured it out, I was able
to interpret the documentation correctly, but I didn't find it obvious at
first. And googling returns some bad examples, which didn't help.

Subject: Re: [libxml-devel] xpath searching without specifying
namespace?
Hey Steven,
wow thanks, that works exactly as advertised!
Incidentally, was this just something you figured out through
experiment or is it documented somewhere and I missed it?
thanks again

You have to make whatever default namespaces you use
explicit, e.g., try
something like this example for xhtml:
items = doc.find '//x:span',
"x:http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
The original poster said that //* wasn't returning anything,
which I can't
duplicate: it returns everything for me, which I believe is
the correct
behavior.
