XSLT creates namespace nodes in the same way as it creates attribute nodes, and disallowing orphaned namespace nodes would introduce considerable complexity into the XSLT processing model. Michael Kay -----Original Message----- From: public-qt-comments-request@w3.org [mailto:public-qt-comments-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of XML Query Sent: 02 February 2004 19:09 To: public-qt-comments@w3.org Subject: IBM-DM-019: No need for orphan namespace nodes Data Model Section 6.4.1 (Namespace Nodes--Overview): This section states that the data model permits namespace nodes without parents (parent property may be empty). This should be changed. There is no longer a namespace node constructor in XQuery. There is no way to create a namespace node independently of an element node, and no reason why the data model should permit this.
