Just to break this down, you're doing:

root.find("{http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd%7Dnamedview")

Try the same disfiguration in the set command:

namedview.set(inkex.addNS('id', 'sodipodi'), "NewID")

You should also be able to do instead:

document.getNamedView()

But looking at inkex and a few examples in the code, I don't really like the addNS design. It's making lots of ugly code. (adds to list)
