You are right and service.setNamespace( "", "...") does not work, but 
you don't have to change your document to perform a query - namespace 
prefix in the document and namespace prefix in the query does not have 
to match. Just use any non-empty prefix in your query (like 'foo'), and 
it will work (see my other email with simple example).
