It would probably be easier for everyone if getId() just went away never to be seen again. Just pick some other name that doesn't conflict. That is why I suggested getLocalName() and getFullName(). Or whatever.



Hmm... localName and fullName have no ambiguity that id and name may have, and aren't that long enough to type. And don't require that two-steps approach. Lots of advantages...

I'll sleep on this, but I think I finally like fullName and localName :-)


A problem though: these names are good for methods, but what about attributes?

<fd:field localName="bar"> leading to a <fi:field fullName="foo.bar">?

Hmm... doesn't look that good...
