My implementation raises an error. The specification is unclear. It's clear that the option is in the XQuery namespace. 1. The spec says "Each implementation recognizes an implementation-defined set of namespace URIs used in option names." I think it should require that this implementation-defined set always contains the XQuery namespace. 2. The spec says that if an option is not recognized, it is implementation-defined what happens. Either: (2a) we really mean this, in which case the result of the test is implementation-defined, or (2b) we want to define a different rule for the XQuery namespace, namely that the implementation must recognize exactly that set of options which are defined in the specification; in which case the expected result of the test should be an error. 81048 1 jonathan.robie 2013-01-08 15:43:32 +0000 I agree, and prefer 2b. 82281 2 jonathan.robie 2013-01-29 17:16:14 +0000 The Working Group agrees that: 1. The implementation-defined set of namespace URIs used in option names always contains the XQuery namespace. 2. The implementation must recognize exactly that set of options which are defined in the specification; in which case the expected result of the test should be an error. 82286 3 mike 2013-01-29 18:00:05 +0000 Minor correction, point 2 applies only to the case where the namespace is the XQuery namespace.
