Hmm.  I may be barking up the wrong tree, but in XPath 2.0,
it appears to me (reading very quickly) that default
namespaces are in fact supported.  See section "2 Basics"
here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/.  Near the end, it says:

   Element nodes have a property called in-scope
   namespaces. [Definition: The in-scope namespaces property
   of an element node is a set of namespace bindings, each
   of which associates a namespace prefix with a URI, thus
   defining the set of namespace prefixes that are available
   for interpreting QNames within the scope of the
   element. For a given element, one namespace binding may
   have an empty prefix; the URI of this namespace binding
   is the default namespace within the scope of the element.]
