As far as I can see, url-dav-process-response calls xml-parse-region
with the last argument set to 'symbol-qnames, which does the right
thing for non-default XML namespace prefixes whose URI is "DAV:".
Here:

<foo:multistatus xmlns:foo="DAV:">
</foo:multistatus>

M-: (xml-parse-region nil nil nil nil 'symbol-qnames)

⇒ ((DAV:multistatus ((... . "DAV:")) "
"))

However it does not handle the default namespace for me:

<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
</multistatus>

M-: (xml-parse-region nil nil nil nil 'symbol-qnames)

⇒ ((multistatus ((http://www\.w3\.org/2000/xmlns/xmlns . "DAV:")) "
"))

That’s a bug in xml.el.

Does it also send an xmlns="DAV:" on that element?
