--- Comment #7 from Andrew Eisenberg <andrew.eisenberg@us.ibm.com> 2011-04-25 20:40:36 UTC ---
The XML Query WG confirmed the decision in Comment #6 at its Feb./March 2011
F2F meeting.
A simplified query for us to consider is:
namespace-uri-for-prefix('', <a/>)
The WG believes that this should return the empty string rather than the empty
sequence.
Partly, this belief is supported by:
Section 11.2.4 fn:namespace-uri-from-QName
"If $arg is in no namespace, the zero-length xs:anyURI is returned."
Section 14.3 fn:namespace-uri
"... or if it is an element or attribute node whose expanded-QName (as
determined by the dm:node-name accessor in the Section 5.11 node-name
AccessorDM) is in no namespace, then the function returns the xs:anyURI
corresponding to the zero-length string."
Section 11.2.5, fn:namespace-uri-for-prefix, of F&O says:
"If $prefix is the zero-length string or the empty sequence, it returns the
namespace URI of the default (unnamed) namespace."
The WG believes that the namespace URI of an element in no namespace could be
clarified in the next version of XQuery and F&O.
