Description Frans Englich 2006-06-27 14:32:10 UTC 
References to the XDT namespace(http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes) still remains:

* In 4.15 Function Declaration, at the end of the bullet point list listing reserved namespaces
* The description for error code XQST0045

It might be that this is not a mistake, that the XDT namespace in fact still is reserved(although it would surprise me). However, in that case the changelog is misleading and contradictory to practice, since it reads:

"J.1 10 May 2006
Deleted all references to the namespace http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-datatypes, formerly known by the prefix xdt: [...]"

This was encountered in bug report:

Comment 2 Don Chamberlin 2006-08-01 21:45:46 UTC 
Franz,
Thank you for calling our attention to these remaining references to the namespace formerly known as xdt. You are correct that these references should be removed, and I will remove them from the next version of the XPath and XQuery specifications. Since the working groups have accepted your comment, I will mark this Bugzilla entry as closed. Of course, you may reopen it if you are not satisfied with the corrected document when it appears.
Regards,
Don Chamberlin (for the XML Query and XSLT working groups)
