If you are talking about XSLT, you can use sting related functions to 
test for URIs obtained using the namespace axis, see [1]. If you are not 
talking about XSLT and regarding JAXP; it's just a bootstrap API to get 
an XML parser and nothing more. How you resolve NS URIs for QName 
attribute values depends on the API you use to process XML. Usually you 
just need to build a prefix:URI map as you go and then again use string 
functions on attribute values.
