Hello! Kanad Dixit and I were discussing error handling facilities in XQuery for a while. Most of problems we have found were fixed in the last working draft released recently. However we still have some remarks and questions. Hope they will help to improve the specification. 1. Now XQuery explains rules for predefined error codes (http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-identifying-errors). Unfortunately, error codes in summary (http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-errors) and throughout the specification do not correspond to these rules. 2. Now XQuery mentions "err" namespace prefix (http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-basics). But this prefix is not predefined like "xml", "xs", "xsi", "fn", "xdt" and "local". Why? Does that mean that a XQuery programmer has to define the "err" prefix himself to call fn:error function? 3. As far as we understand, a user can define his own error namespace for dealing with errors (now there is an example in section http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-handling-dynamic). Should it be clearly stated in the specification or it is obvious? Best regards, Andrey
