I'm trying to prototype the xf:node-name function. Problem is, I really can't tell what the behavior of the returned value should be. It's possible I'm not looking at the most recent documents, but: Operators says this returns an expanded QName and points to the Data Model spec. Data Model says "An expanded QName is in the value space of xs:QName, and consists of a namespace URI and a local name". But that doesn't tell me how this value behaves when I actually try to operate on it -- to take one trivial example, it doesn't tell me what the lexical representation of an _expanded_ QName should be. You've got an open issue (0063) which suggests that the non-expanded lexical value -- the Namespaces-style qualified name -- _might_ be available. But it isn't clear that this is the intended lexical value under all cases, or which cases it applies to... and the issue itself indicates that you haven't decided where the prefix would be taken from. Checked the XSLT2 spec; didn't find any help there. Is there really a hole in the spec where someone made an assumption, or did I miss something? ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
