The method setLocalName takes one argument, the new name, and changes
the local name of this XML object to the name passed in.

Here are some examples:

  var god = <god>Kibo</god>;
  alert(god.toXMLString()); // shows '<god>Kibo</god>'

  god.setLocalName('deity');
  alert(god.toXMLString()); // shows '<deity>Kibo</deity>'

  var xhtmlSnippet = <b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Kibology
for all.</b>;
  xhtmlSnippet.setLocalName('strong');
  alert(xhtmlSnippet.toXMLString());
  /* shows 
  '<strong xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Kibology for all.</strong>'
  */
