Description Michael Kay 2005-04-19 12:22:09 UTC 
The 2.0 specification does not say what happens if an element name specified in
cdata-section-elements is unprefixed. XSLT 1.0 specified that (unlike most other
QNames in a stylesheet) the default namespace should be used. I don't believe
the WG made a conscious decision to change the spec in this area, the text just
seems to have got lost somewhere along the line.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2005-05-07 23:05:55 UTC 
The XSL WG agreed that this was the intent and instructed the editor to restore
the missing text; which has been done.
