"no way" is putting it too strongly. You just have to declare a prefix
and use that. Same is true to refer to such elements in Xpath
it's quite common to declare the same namesapce with "" and with a non
empty prefix.

"default namespace" is just a namespace which has a current binding to a
prefix of "" together with a syntactic quirk that if the prefix is ""
then you omit the ":" isn't it?
