Hi Ken,
That looks great. The only thing better would be to have a single regex
expression, typically stored in a string variable to be used in any
match. The alternative is probably to build a smal function that
combines the two "match", to better isolate the logic.
Thank you.
Cheers,
ac

This looks quite good. The XML character classes are quite useful
here. I do still wonder about the case where you would have a digit or
dash after the colon, implying that the local-name would not start with
a name-start character. Is that case covered also?
Well spotted!
How about something like:
matches($str,'^(\i\c*:)?\i\c*$') and matches($str,'^([^:]+:)?[^:]+$')
