No. This is one of XPath's major weaknesses, IMHO. THe spec simply doesn't
allow for unprefixed names mapping to the default namespace, and so Daniel
has implemented that spec as it should be.

(A lot of people have come up against this with XSLT using grammars like
xhtml, where the HTML-like elements are in the default namespace).
