This is the syntax of a qualified name, but it doesn't give the whole
semantics.

Yes, but is it OK to use qName=localName when there are namespaces?

E.g. is this OK?

aContentHandler.startElement("http://www.foo.com/ns1", "rec", "rec", a1);
aContentHandler.startElement("http://www.foo.com/ns2", "el2", "el2", a2);
aContentHandler.startElement("", "el3", "el3", a3);
