xml-dev - simple XPath question

[Richard Lanyon <rgl@decisionsoft.com>]

I'm probably just being stupid here, but how do I refer to the default
namespace within an XPath expression? I know that if I have a
namespace declared with xmlns:foo="..." I can query its value with
  namespace::foo
but it looks like a namespace declared with xmlns="..." is queried
with
  namespace::
which looks a bit odd for starters, and gives the impression of being
a syntax error.
