https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21025 Bug ID: 21025 Summary: copying unused namespace declarations Classification: Unclassified Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT Version: Working drafts Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: XQueryX 3.0 Assignee: jim.melton@acm.org Reporter: nikolay.ognyanov@gmail.com QA Contact: public-qt-comments@w3.org It seems to me that the draft specs do not provide a way to copy "unused" (i.e. such that no element in the documet resides in those) namespace declarations from a processed xml document. There are however important use cases where such feature is needed. For example xml schema documents often require declaration of default namespace even though the elements of the schema itself all reside in the xs: namespace. The namespace axis in combination with computed namespace constructors would solve this but namespace axix is explicitely not supported. Am I missing an alternative solution or is the use case truly not supported? If so then I would advocate strongly for its support since processing of xml schema documents is hardly an insignificant use case. Regards Nikolay P.S.: For examples of xml schemas where copying of the default namespace is mandatory you can look e.g. at http://www.opentravel.org/Specifications/Default.aspx -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
