I have an application which uses the SAX ContentHandler interface as a
general pipeline for XML data. The application (which is not a parser)
invokes methods on a ContentHandler, and sometimes the XML data is
programmatically generated, i.e. not originating from XML source. In that
case there are no prefixes and no qualified names (only namespace URI:s
and local names), and it would be a PITA to have to generate
namespace prefixes which would not be used anyway.

You would not have to do this. You would just pass the local name for each argument. That is you'd pass the same String object twice in the method call. A qualified name is *not* a prefixed name, though the SAX docs are misleading on this point, and we should probably fix that too.
