The currently proposed wording for the XPath errata dealing with relative namespace URIs at [1] (under Section 5 and Section 5.4) says in effect that relative namespace URIs can get munged in an implementation-dependent way; however, XPath expressions can still be well-defined on a document containing relative namespace URIs, provided that the evaluation of the expressions doesn't depend on the value of any relative namespace URIs. However, the wording suggested by [2] would make for a broader undefinedness: in effect, the behaviour of the entire spec when there are relative namespace URIs becomes undefined. The wording here is suggested for "new" specifications, which doesn't appear to cover the XPath errata. My question is: does anybody think the XPath wording should be changed to use a wording similar to [2]?
