Description Michael Kay 2008-12-04 14:59:05 UTC 
This relates to the 3 December public WD.

The syntax introduces the construct NamespaceNodeTest ::= "namespace-node()", and gives its meaning. But the syntax is orphaned: KindTest has not been extended to allow it.

(Note also, this construct should be allowed in XPath as well as XQuery, since XPath can select namespace nodes using the namespace axis)
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2008-12-04 15:26:11 UTC 
namespace-node() also needs to be added to the list of reserved function names in Appendix A.3; and this addition needs to be noted in a new Appendix listing backwards incompatibilities with XQuery 1.0 / XPath 2.0.

(specifically, if the default function namespace is http://f/, then a/namespace-node() now means a/child::namespace-node() (which is not a very useful thing to write) rather than a/child::{http://f/}namespace-node().)
