http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10700

           Summary: [XPath21] Consistency constraints do not place a
                    restriction on the use of the xmlns namespace
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XPath 2.1

This also applies to XQuery 1.1

Section 2.2.5 contains the following constraint:

In the statically known namespaces, the prefix xml must not be bound to any
namespace URI other than http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace, and no prefix
other than xml may be bound to this namespace URI.

This should also enforce that the prefix "xmlns" is not bound to any namespace
URI and that no prefix is bound to the namespace URI
http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/.
