"If qualifiedName contains a ":" (U+003E), then split the string on it and set prefix to the part before and localName to the part after."

Error is unicode code for character symbol colon ":" is not (U+003E), it has code 62 actually mapped to greater-than character symbol ">" and not the character symbol colon ":".
Correct code for character symbol colon is 58 in unicode this is (U+003A) and correctly mapped to character symbol colon ":".

Thank you! I wonder how long that's been there. I created #1028 to address this.

This dates all the back to the initial commit by @gsnedders in 2009! 026e5cd. Not-so-innocent typo that went unnoticed for well over a decade.

I don't think I'd actually changed the spec much (if at all) at that point, so I kinda suspect it goes back a fair bit further than that!
