What prefix do you expect to be assigned to the default namespace?
Remember, the XPath spec is clear that no prefix is not an option
here. In an XPath expression the empty prefix always maps to no
namespace. When XOM violated this (unintentionally) it caused
noticeable bugs.

There's no traversal in either case, though. The context you created
was not based on the entire document and could not necessarily resolve
any namespace in the document. It was based on a single element.
