RE: [Sax-devel] SAX survey: expected local name for non-namespace qualified elements

[Yuval O. <yu...@bl...>]

The question is in which variable, qName or localName, do we put the name
when namespace processing is off.

QName rates privilege because it's the current specification. IMO either way
has some confusion, so we might as well keep things the way they are. With
namespace processing off, there's no such thing as a QName, but there's also
no such thing as a LocalName. You could argue that there's "less no such
thing" as a LocalName, but that's not enough for me :)

I believe if we remove all the optional behavior then good documentation can
solve this problem.
