XPath specification prohibits remapping of default namespace:

[quote] This is the same way expansion is done for element type names in start
and end-tags except that the default namespace declared with xmlns is not used:
if the QName does not have a prefix, then the namespace URI is null (this is the
same way attribute names are expanded). [/quote]

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#node-tests

To query xml elements with empty prefix, such as:

  <foo xmlns="http://www.bar.com"/>

XPath expression should map "http://www.bar.com" namespace to non-empty prefix:

  ./xindice xpath -c /db/test -s ns=http://www.bar.com -q /ns:foo
