[Bug 4443] [XQuery] Unspecified how unprefixed attributes with namespace URIs are to be treated

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4443





------- Comment #5 from frans.englich@telia.com  2007-04-23 12:38 -------
While testing, I came to think of queries like this:

<e>
{
    attribute {QName("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "space")}
{"default"}
}
</e>

>From what I can tell, implementations cannot randomly generate prefixes, it
depends on the namespace URI. For the XML namespace as above, the "xml" prefix
Must be use.

I doubt whether this justifies reconsideration, but I suggest the editorial
change of adding an explanatory Note paragraph that sheds light on this.

Mike, I don't know whether this area applies to XSL-T as well, maybe it does.
