I think you highlighted the distinction perfectly.  QNames represent a
blurring of markup rules and document content.

Imagine if, for instance I did this:

<test value="<int>44</int>" />

Even if I declared "value" to be of type "XMLContent" or some such, I
don't think it would quiet the howls of dismay.  QName is a softer case
because it only plays with names, but it's not much different at its
base.
