Description Jim Melton 2008-01-11 00:27:11 UTC 
Bug http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5269 observed that certain syntactically correct XQuery expressions could not be represented in XQueryX. An example is the expression: $e/processing-instruction("123ncname")

The PITarget is a string literal whose value does not correspond to the XML rules for processing instruction targets, which require them to be NCNames.  The XML Query WG believes that the proper solution to this report is to process an erratum to XQuery that requires such string literals to have values that conform to the rules for NCNames.
