& XSLT Hi all,

whatâ??s the skinny on this? I see the following elements available
when emitting, say a start_element event:

    Name
    LocalName
    Prefix
    NamespaceURI

Now, my question is, which of this data is minimally required
according to the spec?

F.ex., XML:SAX::Writer requires Name, Prefix and NamespaceURI to
work, at minimum, and seems to ignore LocalName. OTOH
XML::Genx::SAXWriter seems to ignore Name altogether. Etc etc.

It really makes me wonder though. Why should I have to specify a
Name *and* a Prefix? Ideally Iâ??d like to specify only a LocalName
and a NamespaceURI, and the only Prefix I care to control
directly is the empty prefix for the default namespace. All other
management should be done by the serialiser on my behalf.

Is that a reasonably expectation?

Regards,
