           Summary: [XPath 2.1] Dynamic invocation of xs:QName or
                    xs:NOTATION constructor functions
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT

According to section 3.11.4, "The constructor functions for xs:QName and for
types derived from xs:QName and xs:NOTATION require their arguments to be
string literals or to have a base type that is the same as the base type of the
target type; otherwise a type error [err:XPTY0004] is raised."

Consider the following expression.

(xs:QName#1)('abc')

Does the fact that the argument to the dynamic function invocation is a string
literal satisfy the constraint quoted in 3.11.4?  I suspect this was intended
to raise an error. . .  but perhaps not.  As things stand I think no error
should be reported.

Any decision on the static context issues raised in bug 9139 probably has a
direct bearing on this one.
