ERR XT0955, Mark Scardina (2004-02-16) 

SECTION 11.8.2: Deep Copy
 
The note states: "This is because failing to copy the namespace nodes
may cause QName values in the content of an element to become invalid."
however, even if copy-namespaces="no", namespace fixup process still
creates namespace nodes. Thus there is no need for this static error
as this condition will not occur.
 
 
MHK personal response:
 
I think this comment is correct, as far as element nodes are concerned.
 
However, I think there is a related problem concerning attribute nodes. It
is not safe to copy the type annotation of an attribute node if the type
annotation is xs:QName. So I think we should replace the existing error
condition with a new dynamic error: when copying an attribute node it is an
error to specify validation="preserve" if the typed value of the attribute
is, or is derived from, xs:QName or xs:NOTATION.
