 * <p><code>QName</code> represents a <strong>qualified name</strong>
 * as defined in the XML specifications: <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 {@link
 * javax.xml.transform.Source XML input source}. The prefix is
 * <strong><em>NOT</em></strong> used in {@link #equals(Object)
 * QName.equals(Object)} or to compute the {@link #hashCode()
 * QName.hashCode()}.  Equality and the hash code are defined using
 * only the Namespace URI and local part.</p>
 *
 * <p>If not specified, the Namespace URI is set to "" (the empty string).
 * If not specified, the prefix is set to "" (the empty string).</p>
 *
 * <p><code>QName</code> is immutable.</p>
