It's only really useful if your source document uses attribute values that are QNames - for example if your source document is a stylesheet. Then you might need to know the mapping of namespace prefixes to namespace URIs. > I also note that the namespaces are provided > in document order, almost the reverse of > any interest that I might have in them. The order of namespace nodes for an element is undefined. The only thing the spec says is that in document order an element is followed by its namespace nodes, then its attribute nodes, then its children; the relative order of namespaces (and of attributes) is undefined.
