public interface NamedElement
extends Element

Interface to represent a XML element. This is similar to ExtensionElement, but does not carry a single namespace, but instead is used with multiple namespaces. Examples for this include MUC's <destroy/> element.

Please note that usage of this interface is discouraged. The reason is that every XML element is fully qualified, i.e., it is qualified by a namespace. The namespace may not be explicitly given, but instead, is inherited from an outer element. Use FullyQualifiedElement instead when possible.
