I tend to agree: pasting the namespace URI and local name together is a
hack. Perhaps it's justified for backwards compatibility. (I did it
myself in expat for this reason, so I can't really complain if SAX2 does
it.)

For some applications (for example, layering DOM2 on top of SAX2), it's
really useful to have prefixes as well. So I would rather see:
final class Name {
public String getNamespaceURI();
public String getLocalName();
public String getPrefix();
}
public interface DocumentHandler2 extends DocumentHandler {
void startElement(Name name, AttributeList2 atts);
void endElement(Name name);
}
