Also, I'm reminded of Benito van der Zander's post in xquery-talk a while
ago: http://www.x-query.com/pipermail/talk/2015-April/004607.html
In particular, consider the examples:
12!(12 div.)
12 div-3
3!(12 div-.)
At the time, Christian Grün said these were all invalid, and Ghislain Fourny
agreed that they did not parse.
However, I don't think the spec says they're illegal. Note that in the
putative parse, 'div' is a keyword, so you can't apply the rule that
requires a symbol separator between an NCName and "-" or ".".
And if you want to apply the "longest possible match" rule, you would have
to argue that an IntegerLiteral followed by an NCName is "consistent with
the EBNF", which seems unlikely to fly.
(For what it's worth, the applets reject all of these examples, but that
doesn't prove anything.)
