Summary: DataTypes tests: QName009
Product: XML Schema Test Suite
Version: 2006-11-06
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Microsoft tests
AssignedTo: ht@inf.ed.ac.uk
ReportedBy: mike@saxonica.com
QAContact: public-xml-schema-testsuite@w3.org
In the Microsoft DataTypes tests, test QName009, the following instance is
considered to be valid
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<root xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="QName.xsd" >
<simpleTest>xmlns:xsi</simpleTest>
</root>
where simpleTest is of type QName. The spec says (in a Note!) "The mapping
between literals in the ·lexical space· and values in the ·value space· of
QName requires a namespace declaration to be in scope for the context in which
QName is used."
According to the Infoset (and the same is true of XDM) "[in-scope namespaces]
does not contain an item with the prefix xmlns (used for declaring namespaces),
since an application can never encounter an element or attribute with that
prefix"
Therefore I think that xmlns:xsi is an invalid QName and this instance is
therefore invalid.
