I call them "universal names" in the namespaces FAQ. This is based on
the statement in the namespaces rec that:
"These considerations require that document constructs should have
__universal names__, whose scope extends beyond their containing
document. This specification describes a mechanism, XML namespaces,
which accomplishes this."
