On 31 Aug 2005, the Query working group agreed that a computed attribute 
constructor whose QName is xmlns or xmlns:* should be an error. It was decided 
to use the existing error XPDY0044 for this case, even though in principle the 
error could be detected statically. An implementation is always free to raise a 
dynamic error during static analysis if it can prove that an expression, if 
evaluated, will necessarily raise a dynamic error. I have implemented the 
working group decision and closed the bug report. Mike, if you are not 
satisifed with this resolution, please reopen the bug report.
