Whether a QName is a {URI, localname} pair depends on what W3C
recommendation you are reading. The Namespaces in XML REC considers it
to be a {prefix, localname} pair while the W3C XML Schema Datatypes
recommendation created a type [without a canonical form] called xs:QName
which is lexically a {prefix, localname} pair but logically a {URI,
localname} pair.
