I hope I'm not exceeding the limit for questions in one day.

I'm porting some Java code that deals with XML to Smalltalk. A Java  
class has these methods.

     public StartTagWAX attr(String name, Object value) ...
     public StartTagWAX attr(String prefix, String name, Object  
value) ...

What would be good Smalltalk names for these methods?
Here's my first guess.

attrName:value:
attrPrefix:name:value:

Note that I don't really have a new to create Attr objects. I just  
need data describing an attribute so I can output it.
