You could use <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
Or <xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>

The first will give you the "complete" name, i.e., with any prefix it
might use, the second will give you the name unprefixed

Example
<doc xmlns:x="...">        name()='doc'         local-name()='doc'
 <x:para>                  name()='x:para'      local-name()='para'
  <para_child/>            name()='para_child'
local-name()='para-child'
  <x:para_child/>          name()='para_child'
local-name()='para-child'
 </x:para>
 <para/>                   name()='para'        local-name()='para'
</doc>

Hope that this helps you
