This will work in the current implementation though the char array 
returned by n.data() may not be 0-terminated in the general case
(e.g., in the future we may add another XML parser to XSD/e which
may not pass element names as 0-terminated strings to avoid copying).

If you want your code to work in the general case, you will need
to also store the size:

currentElementName     =  n.data();
currentElementNameSize =  n.size();

And then:

slot->setName(currentElementName, currentElementNameSize);
