The qualified name of a node, as a QName

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The fn:node-name function returns the qualified name of a node as an xs:QName. 
It is useful only for element, attribute and processing instruction nodes. For 
elements and attributes, it is simply the names used in XML documents. If the 
node's name is not in any namespace, the namespace portion of the QName is 
empty, while the local part is the appropriate name.
