I assume you mean XSLT, not XPath.

Just fine -- for better or worse, the draft finding calls out as an
unsolved issue how to deal with the ordering of elaboration signals
which are attributes.

I guess what I meant was that there has to be some way of establishing
who is asking the question "What is the elaborated infoset of this
document?".  If a specific concrete application is asking the
question, it will specify the quoting namespace(s).  If the document
is just found lying in the road, so to speak, then I guess its
document element namespace will have to be consulted (how?). . .
