Subject: BUG or Non-Conformance -- the name() function in MSXML 3

When applied to a namespace node, the name() function as implemented in
MSXML3 returns 'xmlns:'<<thePreffix>>
In contrast, the local-name() function returns <<thePreffix>>
Below is a quote from the W3C XPath Specification
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#corelib):
"NOTE: The string returned by the name function will be the same as
the string returned by the local-name function except for element nodes
and attribute nodes."
As a namespace node is neither an element or an attribute node, the
name function must return <<thePreffix>> -- exactly as the local-name()
function.
