/ ht@inf.ed.ac.uk (Henry S. Thompson) was heard to say:

On further consideration, I'm not satisified with this approach. It works
for http-request because the local names are all that you need for
HTTP headers. But in the general case, I think we have to assume that
steps will take QName parameters, just like XSLT and XQuery do.
