[which is not the usual editorial style, but that's by-the-by] Similarly in 3.1.5: It is a static error if a static function call is a partial function application and the identified function is a context-dependentFO30 built-in function [err:XPST0112]. Constructor functions for xs:QName, xs:NOTATION, and other namespace-sensitive types should also be included in this category. The spec for function-lookup does not restrict the rule to built-in functions: If the function that is identified is ·context-dependent·, fn:function-lookup returns a function but it would be useful to add an example to demonstrate that namespace-sensitive constructors are also affected. 67754 1 jonathan.robie 2012-05-15 17:00:20 +0000 It's no longer an error to use context dependent functions in these contexts. The bug is moot. (Editorially, the example might be worth adding to the spec.)
