Just for reference.. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
The { string, Name } model of namespaces is what
XPath specification uses. The namespace spec uses
a 4-tuple { type, string, parent-local, local }
where type is "element" or "global-attribute"
or "per-element-attribute" and where parent-local
is null except for the "per-element-attribute",
in which case, it is the parent element's local.
