Re: Import schema used in minimal conformance test cases

Our Guidelines for Running the XML Query Test Suite [1] allow these 
directives to be customized before the query is run. 
The Customizing Namespaces section says:

"This declaration can be customized in one of the following three ways:

   1. Unchanged: use schema import as indicated in the original query
   2. Remove the schema import declaration from the query, and add 
namespace declaration using same name and URI to statically known 
namespaces before the query is executed.
   3. Replace schema import with namespace declaration using same name and 
URI."


Also, you might want to look at  issue 1997, which was raised several 
months ago by David Carlisle [2].

Import schema used in minimal conformance test cases







Many tests use an 'import schema' directive,
yet this feature is not supposed to be available
in a minimally conformant XQuery processor
(example: group SeqExprCast)
