An element name consists of two parts: the namespace name and the local
name. Asking to ignore the namespace is the same as asking to ignore the
local name. You can ignore both by using *. You can ignore the local name by
using prefix:*. In 2.0 you can ignore the namespace using *:local. This
isn't available in 1.0, on the theory that a local-name is meaningless
unless you know what namespace it is in.
