Problem with ComponentResources.getElementName()?

[Alfie Kirkpatrick]

This call appears to remove any namespace information, so the following
are not equivalent:

 

                <t:mycomponent element="ns:something"/>

                <ns:something t:type="mycomponent"/>

 

In the first case the element parameter is "ns:something". In the second
case calling getElementName() returns 'something' without the namespace.

 

Is this intentional?

 

Thanks, Alfie.
