It's also a poor choice of example because no computed namespace constructor is needed here; the namespace will be created automatically by the fixup process. A better example would be <age xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> { namespace xs {"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"}, attribute xsi:type {"xs:integer"}, 23 }</age> This illustrates the distinction between the xsi namespace which is created automatically because it's used in an attribute name, and the xs namespace which needs to be created by hand because it's used only in attribute content. (Though of course, it could be created statically if it's known statically). 49450 1 jim.melton 2011-06-10 22:21:44 +0000 The XML Query WG agreed during its meeting on 2011-06-07 (documented in members-only email archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-query/2011Jun/0010.html) with the problem and with the proposed solution. Based on this decision, we are marking the bug as RESOLVED/FIXED. Because you were present when the decision was made and are in agreement with the resolution, I am also marking the bug CLOSED.
