<p><code>QName</code> represents a <strong>qualified name</strong>
 as defined in the XML specifications: <a

 Datatypes specification</a>, <a

 <p>The value of a <code>QName</code> contains a <strong>Namespace
 URI</strong>, <strong>local part</strong> and
 <strong>prefix</strong>.</p>

 <p>The prefix is included in <code>QName</code> to retain lexical
 information <strong><em>when present</em></strong> in an <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/transform/Source.html" title="interface in javax.xml.transform"><CODE>XML input source</CODE></A>. The prefix is
 <strong><em>NOT</em></strong> used in <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/namespace/QName.html#equals(java.lang.Object)"><CODE>QName.equals(Object)</CODE></A> or to compute the <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/namespace/QName.html#hashCode()"><CODE>QName.hashCode()</CODE></A>.  Equality and the hash code are defined using
 <strong><em>only</em></strong> the Namespace URI and local part.</p>

 <p>If not specified, the Namespace URI is set to <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/XMLConstants.html#NULL_NS_URI"><CODE>XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI</CODE></A>.
 If not specified, the prefix is set to <A HREF="../../../javax/xml/XMLConstants.html#DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX"><CODE>XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX</CODE></A>.</p>
