John,

are

Well, name() returns a string giving the name of the element. contains()
takes two arguments and returns true if the first contains the second. So
if you want to see whether the name contains 'something', then you can use:
contains(name(), 'something')
Of course you can use local-name() instead of name() with the same general
effect.
I hope this is what you were after,
