  Search the NamespaceList for a given prefix, returning the corresponding URI.

  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The prefix to be matched. To find the default namespace, supply ""
  Returns:
    The URI code corresponding to this namespace. If it is an unnamed default namespace, return Namespace.NULL_CODE.
  Throws:
    `NamespaceException` - if the prefix has not been declared on this NamespaceList.

### getPrefixForURI

    public java.lang.String getPrefixForURI(java.lang.String uri)

  Search the NamespaceList for a given URI, returning the corresponding prefix.

  Parameters:
    `uri` - The URI to be matched.

### makeNameCode

    public final int makeNameCode(java.lang.String qname,
                                  boolean useDefault)
                           throws NamespaceException

  Make a NameCode, using this Element as the context for namespace resolution. The name will be entered in the namepool: therefore this method should not be called once the name pool is sealed.

  Throws:
    `NamespaceException`

### addNamespaceNodes

  Make the set of all namespace nodes associated with this element.

  Parameters:
    `owner` - The element owning these namespace nodes.
    `list` - a Vector containing NamespaceImpl objects representing the namespaces in scope for this element; the method appends nodes to this Vector, which should initially be empty. Note that the returned list will never contain the XML namespace (to get this, the NamespaceEnumeration class adds it itself). The list WILL include an entry for the undeclaration xmlns=""; again it is the job of NamespaceEnumeration to ignore this, since it doesn't represent a true namespace node.
    `addXML` - Add the XML namespace node to the list

### outputNamespaceNodes

    public void outputNamespaceNodes(Outputter out,
                                     boolean includeAncestors)

  Overrides:
    `outputNamespaceNodes` in class `NodeImpl`
  Parameters:

  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### getNodeType

  Returns:
    NodeInfo.ELEMENT

### getAttributeList

  Get the attribute list for this element.

  Returns:
    The attribute list. This will not include any namespace attributes. The attribute names will be in expanded form, with prefixes replaced by URIs

### getAttributeValue

    public java.lang.String getAttributeValue(java.lang.String name)

  Find the value of a given attribute of this element.
  This is a short-cut method; the full capability to examine attributes is offered via the getAttributeList() method.
  The attribute may either be one that was present in the original XML document, or one that has been set by the application using setAttribute().

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of an attribute. There must be no prefix in the name.
  Returns:
    the value of the attribute, if it exists, otherwise null

### setAttribute

    public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                             java.lang.String value)
                      throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  Set the value of an attribute on the current element.

  Copy this node to a given outputter (supporting xsl:copy-of)

  Parameters:
    `out` - The outputter
    `allNamespaces` - true if namespaces for ancestor nodes must be output
  Throws:
    `TransformerException`

### getSequenceNumber

    protected final long getSequenceNumber()

  Get the node sequence number (in document order). Sequence numbers are monotonic but not consecutive. In the current implementation, parent nodes (elements and roots) have a zero least-significant word, while namespaces, attributes, text nodes, comments, and PIs have the top word the same as their owner and the bottom half reflecting their relative position.

  Overrides:
    `getSequenceNumber` in class `NodeImpl`

### hasChildNodes

    `getLastChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getLastChild` in class `NodeImpl`
  Returns:
    the last child of the element, or null if there are no children

### getChildNodes

    public final org.w3c.dom.NodeList getChildNodes()

  Return a `NodeList` that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is a `NodeList` containing no nodes.

  Specified by:
    `getChildNodes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Overrides:
    `getChildNodes` in class `NodeImpl`

### getNthChild

    protected final NodeImpl getNthChild(int n)

    public void renumberChildren()

  Renumber the children of a given parent node. For system use only
