In various places the XQuery Update specification updates the namespace
bindings for a given element. However, no mention is made of the case when a
given namespace prefix is already bound to a namespace URI, and cannot be
removed since it is in use by another attribute or the element itself.

I would suggest that either this is an error case, or that the inserted or
modified node should adopt a new application generated prefix.
