Ooh, a rare mistake from Jeni, I can't resist leaping in with a correction!

name() returns a QName for the node, not an expanded name. An expanded name
consists of a (namespace URI, local name) pair, and there is no defined way
of expressing an expanded name as a string. A QName has the form
[prefix:]local-name; the prefix will be one that corresponds to the
namespace URI, which usually means it will be the same prefix as you used in
your source document.
