getNamespaceURI
```
public String getNamespaceURI(Node node)
```
Get the namespace URI for the supplied node.
The default implementation uses Node.getNamespaceURI(). Subclasses may override the default implementation to provide a different namespace identification mechanism.

Parameters:

node - the node

getLocalName
```
public String getLocalName(Node node)
```
Get the local name for the supplied Node.
The default implementation calls Node.getLocalName(). Subclasses may override the default implementation to provide a different mechanism for getting the local name.

Parameters:

node - the Node

nodeNameEquals
```
public boolean nodeNameEquals(Node node,
                              String desiredName)
```
Determine whether the name of the supplied node is equal to the supplied name.
The default implementation checks the supplied desired name against both Node.getNodeName() and Node.getLocalName().
Subclasses may override the default implementation to provide a different mechanism for comparing node names.

Parameters:

node - the node to compare

desiredName - the name to check for

isDefaultNamespace
```
public boolean isDefaultNamespace(String namespaceUri)
```
Determine whether the given URI indicates the default namespace.

isDefaultNamespace
```
public boolean isDefaultNamespace(Node node)
```
Determine whether the given node indicates the default namespace.
