Yes it must be avoided because you have to use both local-name() and 
namespace-uri() in order to break apart the qualified name of the 
node into its components and compare each of those:

<xsl:apply-templates
     select="*[not(local-name()=$name and namespace-uri()=$ns)]"/>

Both are needed in the general case, not just local-name(), because 
the user might be using the default namespace.  In that case the 
local part might compare equal but the URI could be different.

I hope this helps.
