To a namespace aware processor, the name of an element includes its
namespace, so this question is like saying how do I match on an element
without worrying about its name.
the answer (in both cases) is to use *.

match="*[local-name()='foo']" will match anything called foo in any
namespace (or no namespace)

or

match="foo|xx:foo"
will match foo in no namespace or (just) the namespace to which you have
assigned the prefix xx:
