expanded name

(contributed by Andre Tost and Priscilla Walmsley)

|
The expanded name of an XML element or attribute includes its local name and its namespace name (if any). Other than in the case of the qualified name, where a namespace prefix is used, the expanded name contains the full namespace name.

For example, for an element <tns:PurchaseOrder> with the namespace prefix tns bound to http://actioncon.com/schema/po, the expanded name would be something like: http://actioncon.com/schema/po.PurchaseOrder.

Since namespace names can be lengthy, it is uncommon to use expanded names, and instead, qualified names are used in conjunction with a namespace prefix.
