On the other hand, the universe is quite an expansion of scope. 
Qualfied name makes sense and invokes no laugh tests.

The most common term seems to be "universal name". This is used
informally in the namespaces rec in section 1.0.:

   These considerations require that document constructs should
   have universal names, whose scope extends beyond their
   containing document. This specification describes a mechanism,
   XML namespaces, which accomplishes this.

It is also used by James Clark in his paper about XML Namespaces and in
my XML namespaces FAQ. BTW, James introduces the notation
{<uri>}<local-name> -- for example, {http://www.foo.com/}a -- as a way
of spelling out universal names. I've used this in the FAQ as well.
