Where is the problem in adding something similar to the attribute lists,
e.g.: 

- getLocalName
- getType
- getValue
- getNameSpaceContext

NameSpaceContext could provide access methods for the namespace URI and
the prefix. It also
could provide a method "getName (String localName)" that builds the full
name if needed.
