I imagine this is a side effect of this change in lxml 4.4.0: When using Element.find*() with prefix-namespace mappings, the empty string is now accepted to define a default namespace, in addition to the previously supported None prefix. Empty strings are more convenient since they keep all prefix keys in a namespace dict strings, which simplifies sorting etc.
