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.

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.
