Just small a spelling correction, that should be xpath-default-namespace.

 How do you specify a 'no-namespace' (halfway) in a namespaced
 document

add xmlns="" to the element that you want to be in no-namespace.


and how do you set the 'xpath default namespace' in Xpath2?
In an XPath2 API, It's up to that API, in XSLT2 you put
default-xpath-default-namespace="...." on any xsl instruction, or
xsl:default-xpath-default-namespace="...." on any literal result element
to change the interpretation of unprefixed element (and type) names in
Xpath expressions within that scope.


You should use them, but for controlling literal result elements in the
result, not controlling xpath queries into the source.

Sometimes elements from queries are copied or are in the same namespace as the literals.

Your statement is true, but I'm not sure how it relates to the original statement about xmlns in a stylesheet. Elements that are copied are unaffected by any namespace declarations in the stylesheet.
