Unfortunately this would be rather confusing since the name of a namespace node is not the namespace URI (namespace name) but the namespace prefix.... My view is that the terms "local name" and "namespace URI" have become accepted through usage; they were used in XPath 1.0 and have not caused users any problems that I am aware of. Michael Kay
