Oops sorry, what I meant was I'm confused why getQName is returning an
empty string.

If you're turning either SAX feature off that may explain why getQName
is returning an empty string.  The SAXBuilder.setProperty javadocs are
vague, but those two features are the ones that are currently required
to be set to true, and are done so by default in SAXBuilder.  Setting
either of them to false may or may not cause an exception.  It would
depend on the parser.

However, if you are not setting any SAX features and using the
defaults, then getQName should never be the empty string.  If it is
that suggests a bug in the parser.
