jQuery selectors are not namespace-aware, so they only use
getElementsByTagName (rather than getElementsByTagNameNS) to retrieve
elements by their nodeName attribute (rather than by localName and
namespaceURI).
The example you give will work using:
$("dbj\\:root")
but be aware that an XML-savvy browser such as Firefox will treat your
namespaced XML elements differently to XHTML elements, such that various
other selectors won't work. For example,
$("head").prepend("<dbj:root xmlns=dbj:'dbj.org.schema'
class="foo"></dbj:root>")
would not allow you to retrieve the <dbj:root/> element using $(".foo") or
$("dbj\\:root.foo"), as the XML element won't have the XHTML className
property.

Nick.
