XML Body is parsed with namespace unaware parser, XPathMatchers fail

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have A Server return xml with namespaces in the body. eg:
<ns:root xmlns:ns=\"http://doo.bar.com\">Foo</ns:root>

2. Test:

given().
    header("Accept", "application/xml").
      expect().body(not(hasXPath("/root"))).
    when().
            get("/resourceName");

Expected Output: The Test should succed. What really Happens: Test fails.

Proposed Fix:
In BodyMatcher make the DocumentBuilderFactory namespace aware. Instead of:
Element node = 
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new 
ByteArrayInputStream(response.asByteArray())).getDocumentElement();

Have
factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
Element node = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new 
ByteArrayInputStream(response.asByteArray())).getDocumentElement();
