4.12 Namespace Declaration

"Multiple declarations of the same namespace prefix in a Prolog result in a
static error [err:XQST0033]."

    Is that talking about 'namespace declarations' only, or should it be
    taken to include other declarations that bind a namespace prefix to a
    target namespace (module import, schema import, module declaration)?
    (Mind you, strictly speaking, the module declaration isn't in the Prolog.)

    My guess would be that you meant the latter (because it seems sensible to
    extend the restriction that way), but the placement and wording suggest
    the former. I believe the Test Suite only tests for the former.

    Either way, it should probably be clarified. (Unless I missed the
    clarification somewhere else.)
