:( That's the most important part of this...

Only replacing the NameTests which have prefixes is pretty pointless, 
because the rest of the query will fail (except all NameTests are 
prefixed). So, no, it does not make things worse, but not better as well.

I first have to know exactly which productions I have to replace by 
"*[local-name()='nodename']"...

BTW: what about variables, i.e. '$' QName, and function names?
