Description

Currently Namespaces contains a definition of a "CSS qualified name", though it doesn't introduce terms for its parts.

HTML needs to refer to the local part of a qualified name, but we don't actually define this as a term (see https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4155).

Research direction

Start with the existing definition of a “CSS qualified name” in Namespaces and review the linked HTML issue for how the local part needs to be referenced. Update the specification to introduce terms for the qualified name’s components, including its local part, so HTML can refer to them precisely.
