Bug in test case c3-006a.xml

Hi,

I think there is a bug in test case c3-006a.xml.

Consider the bind elements in the model:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/06/xhtml2"
       xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms/cr"
       xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2002/xml-events"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
       xml:lang="en">

   ...

     <xforms:model id="m_001">
     	<xforms:instance id="i_001" xmlns="">
     		<r>
     			<a>3</a>
					<b>7</b>
					<c>c</c>
					<d>d</d>
				</r>
     	</xforms:instance>
     	<xforms:bind nodeset="a" id="i-a" />
     	<xforms:bind nodeset="b" id="i-b" />
     	<xforms:bind nodeset="r/c" id="i-c" />
     </xforms:model>

Section 7.3 states in "rule" 8 that "Any namespace declarations in scope 
for the attribute that defines the expression are applied to the 
expression".

"In scope" for the "nodeset" attributes of the xforms:bind elements is 
(among others) the default namespace 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/06/xhtml2". Thus the xpath expression in 
the nodeset attribute results in an empty nodeset, because elements <r> 
and descendants are in the global namespace.

This is not what is intended here (or have I misunderstood the spec?)
