This works:

require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'
doc = Nokogiri::XML(open('https://raw.github.com/gist/1966260/8769a795b2ba83ceea6aaa45365b01cf344087b0/gistfile1.xml'))
doc.xpath('//xs:schema', 'xs' => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema')

I’m not sure yet if this is a bug with nokogiri or the intended behavior, but it’d be worth discussing on the mailing list or creating an issue for.
