does the qname also have the prefix? in xpath 1 name() ise defined in
terms of finding a namespace node in scope and getting the prefix from
there...

but that means you can construct sequences of anything except
attributes, which seems a bit odd.

Yes that occurred to me as well. I suspect that would be the most
natural thing to do, although you'd still have to adjust the
xpath2 namepsace nodes shared at the document level, I think.
