No, http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/ does not have a red rectangle. it returns XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators 3.1. It does not redirect to https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/. However, https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/ *does* have a red rectangle, because I put it there, on the instruction of the XQuery and XSLT Working Groups, who are no longer maintaining that old document. > I think I'd be fine with the red > rectangle and its contents. > > But I think, to edit https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/ (i.e to > delete > its red rectangle), a different WG needs to be involved (not XML > Schema WG). The note in the red rectangle is a true statement. F&O 1 is not maintained. No-one is processing errata. It's not likely there will ever be a new edition. Instead, there's F&O 3.0 and 3.1. It's possible XSD could be edited to fix a link, but it sounds like it's not necessary? It should indeed go to the not-maintained document. There's no longer a W3C XML Schema Working Group and has not been one for some years. The red box doesn't mean the spec isn't being used, it means there's no-one available to edit or republish it. The volnteers stopped volunteering and the compnies withdrew support, because the Working Group's primary work was finished and done and ended and happy and wonderful.
