Hence, the latter disallows casting from xs:QName, since xs:QName is not a xs:string literal. I think it makes sense and should be allowed to cast from xs:QName to xs:QName, and hence that the latter clause should be loosened to allow casting from an xs:string literal or xs:QName. This bug is similar to "[Bug 1515] Contradictory statement: casting to xs:notation permitted/allowed", http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1515 Cheers, Frans 5271 1 ashok.malhotra 2005-07-28 18:37:28 +0000 Casting from a type to itself is a special case -- a noop -- and everyone recognizes this. I don't think a special exception is required. I suggest we close this without action. 5273 2 frans.englich 2005-07-28 18:39:55 +0000 Sure, go ahead and close(resolution INVALID, I guess).
