Re: [Bug 3800] [UPD] upd:replaceNode has unexpected semantics for attributes

Good catch! Yes, this is a known editorial error and will be corrected.
Thanks,

[Bug 3800] [UPD] upd:replaceNode has unexpected semantics for attributes

           Summary: [UPD] upd:replaceNode has unexpected semantics for
                    attributes
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT

Rule 3a in section 3.1.8 (upd:replaceNode) states that: "If $target is an
attribute node, the attributes property of parent($target) is replaced by
$replacement."

This is unexpected, as it states that all attributes -- not just the 
target
attribute -- are replaced by $replacement. I assume this is an editorial 
error?
