see xpather.pl , it will spit out stuff like this, you only need to match on local-name() (just delete the other "and" conditions )

xpath1 

# star
/*[ local-name() = "propfind"
    and namespace-uri() = "DAV:"
    and position() = 1
  ]

/*[ local-name() = "prop"
    and namespace-uri() = "DAV:"
    and position() = 1
  ]

/*[ local-name() = "bigbox"
    and namespace-uri() = "http://ns.example.com/boxschema/"
  ]

xpath2 

/*[ local-name() = "propfind"
    and namespace-uri() = "DAV:"
    and position() = 1
  ]

/*[ local-name() = "propname"
    and namespace-uri() = "DAV:"
  ]
