Re: [whatwg/dom] namespaces: validate and extract uses the strictly split a string in a vague manner (Issue #1134)

To what extent is it helpful to be explicit about things? When thinking about a step like this, I tend to think of something like:


  5. If _qualifiedName_ contains a U+003A (:), then run the following steps:
    1.  Let _splitResult_ be the result of [strictly split](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#strictly-split) givent _qualifiedName_.
    2. Set _prefix_ to _splitResult_[0].
    3. Set _localName_ to _splitResult_[1].

Unwrapping things like this feels a bit verbose. Is there a better way?
