Section 3.7.1.2 Namespace Declaration Attributes
Technical
Namespace declaration attributes should not affect the in-scope
namespace static context for expressions. We think that only the ones in
the prolog should affect the namespace prefixes inside expressions.
We find the following semantics to be confusing:
declare namespace b="uri1"; <a xmlns:b="uri2">{/b:c}</a> will look for
{uri2}:c and not {uri1:c}. "uri2" should only affect the construction
part.
The same should then also hold for the computed constructors.
Thus, we would like to have the following behaviour:
Namespace declaration in prolog: Provides static namespace prefix
bindings for both constructors and expressions
Namespace declaration on construction: Provides static namespace prefix
bindings for constructors only, not for embedded expressions.
