  The description ( javadoc comments ) of the org.w3c.dom.Node.setPrefix() is
empty ( build jaxp-1.1.1-b24-19_jun_2001, build jdk1.4.0beta-b68 ) but it seems to
be appended to the description of the org.w3c.dom.Node.getPrefix() -

  public String getPrefix()

     ...
     Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the nodeName
     attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the tagName and name
     attributes of the Element and Attr interfaces, when applicable.
     Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a
     default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the
     original prefix appear, since the namespaceURI and localName do not change.
     ...

     Throws:
         DOMException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix
         contains an illegal character.
         NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
         NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix is malformed, if the
         namespaceURI of this node is null, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the
         namespaceURI of this node is different from
         "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an attribute and
         the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI of this node is
         different from " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if this node is an
         attribute and the qualifiedName of this node is "xmlns".
