# b.. the qualified name is required when the # namespace-prefixes property # is true, and is optional when the namespace-prefixes # property is false # (the default). # </quote> In Saxon (as a SAX event consumer) I actually depend on the qname always being present, despite the fact that SAX doesn't guarantee it. I've never encountered a parser that doesn't provide it, and I'm reluctant to write code that incurs a performance penalty (and which I can't readily test) to guard against the possibility of someone writing such a parser. I think there's a good case for making the value mandatory. Michael Kay
