How do I access the original name for XML elements, including the original namespace prefix.

I am trying to use Freemarker to produce an HTML representation of an
XML document, maintaining all of the information in the original
document (including xmlns:prefix="namespaceURI" declarations and the
prefixes on element names).  

Note that I do not know, in advance, what the namespaces used in the XML
document will be, so I cannot declare them in my Freemarker template.  

When using the XML processing capabilities of Freemarker to access
elements in the XML document, is there some way for me to access the
original node name including the original prefix?

As background, I am currently generating the HTML rendering of the XML
using the following macros:

[#escape x as x?html]
[@displayChildren parent=someElementNode indent=0 /]
[/#escape]


[#macro displayChildren parent indent]

[#if parent?node_type="text"]
[#if parent?trim!=""]
<br/>
[@space indent=indent/]
[@elementText text="${parent?html}"/]
[/#if]
[/#if]

[#if parent?node_type="element"]

[#if indent > 0]<br/>[/#if]
[@space indent=indent/]
[@leftBracket/]
[@elementName text="${parent?node_name}"/]

[#assign children = parent?children /]
[#assign hasChildren = (children?size != 0) /]
[#assign attributes = parent.@@ /]
[#assign hasAttributes = (attributes?size != 0) /]
[#assign isLeafNode = (children?size = 0) /]

[#if hasAttributes]
[#list attributes as attribute]
[#assign markup = attribute.@@markup?html /]
[#assign parts = markup?split("=") /]
[#assign name = parts[0] /]
[#assign value = parts[1] /]
<br/>[@space indent=(indent+1)/]
[@attributeName text="${name}"/]
=
[@attributeValue text="${value}"/]
[/#list]
[/#if]

[#if isLeafNode]
[@closeRightBracket /]
[#else]
[@rightBracket /]
[#list children as child]
[@displayChildren parent=child indent=(indent+1) /]
[/#list]
<br/>
[@space indent=indent /]
[@leftBracket /]
/
[@elementName text="${parent?node_name}" /]
[@rightBracket /]
[/#if]

[/#if]
