well actually you can since you've used eq you are presumably using 
xpath2 so you can set the default element namespace to be xhtml
(unfortunately Xquery messed this up and combined the notion of default 
namespace in the result and default namespace in the query, so if that 
fragment was xquery rather than xpath then you can only do that if you 
are generating xhtml as well as querying it)
