This makes sense. I think my original though was that the only kind 
of prefix an attribute could have was a namespace prefix, so why 
bother with the longer name?  However, elements and attributes can 
have base URIs and namespace URIs, so getURI() is not sufficient. And 
for consistency I should probably just go with 
getNamespacePrefix/getNamespaceURI all around.
