 *    NCNameChar ::=  Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' etc.   <br>
 *    The Prefix provides the namespace prefix part of the qualified name,
 *    and must 
 *    be associated with a namespace URI reference in a namespace declaration. 
 *    The LocalPart provides the local part of the qualified name. 
 *    Note that the prefix functions only as a placeholder 
 *    for a namespace name. 
 *    Applications should use the namespace name, not the prefix, 
 *    in constructing 
 *    names whose scope extends beyond the containing document.
