Everytime they need to be used, they currently need to be looked up in the spec, or some reference to add a declarations for them. Since these namespace URIs are commonly used in an XQuery 3.0 module, I suggest that we predeclare two more namespace bindings: err = http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors output = http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization 64907 1 john.snelson 2012-03-02 13:05:06 +0000 We should also consider what to for the "math" namespace. 66377 2 jonathan.robie 2012-04-03 16:56:16 +0000 This is related to Bug 10681, where we decided to avoid getting in the way of any predeclarations that implementations might make. I prefer to either (1) predeclare any namespace we define that is generally useful in a query, including these, or (2) avoid predeclaring namespaces, as we decided in Bug 10681. I'm happy with either extreme, but I want to have a simple rule to explain to users. 69002 3 jonathan.robie 2012-06-12 16:36:36 +0000 The WG disagrees. We will not predeclare these prefixes.
