qName
===== 

Constructs a QName from a namespace and local part

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The fn:QName function takes a namespace URI and a qualified (optionally 
prefixed) name as arguments, and constructs a QName value from them. If 
$paramQName is prefixed, that prefix is retained in the resulting xs:QName 
value. Unlike the xs:QName constructor, the fn:QName function does not require a 
literal argument. Therefore, the name could be the result of a dynamically 
evaluated expression.
