  No there is no way around this, well maybe except
using the function local-name() and namespace-uri()
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-local-name

  select="*[local-name() = 'a' and namespace-uri()() == '...']"
but I don't suggest using this.
 
 There is nothing special about having the prefix declared being ugly,
I really don't see you point there. I understand you have to fix your
stylesheets, and it's not fun, but it's true for any kind of bug fix.
