/**
 * Corresponds to the XML Schema
 * xs:QName type.
 * 
 * A QName is the logical combination of an XML namespace URI and a localName.
 * Although in an XML instance document, a QName appears as "prefix:localName",
 * the logical value of a QName does NOT contain any information about the
 * prefix, only the namespace URI to which the prefix maps.  For example,
 * two QNames "a:hello" and "b:hello" are perfectly equivalent if "a:" in
 * the first instance maps to the same URI as "b:" in the second instance.
 * 
 * Convertible to {@link javax.xml.namespace.QName}.
