Note: In an implementation that does not support the namespace axis, an attempt to access it always raises an error. Thus, an XQuery implementation will always raise an error in this case, since XQuery does not support the namespace axis. The namespace axis is deprecated as of XPath 2.0, but required in some languages that use XPath, including XSLT." What is the error code in this case? 82189 1 tim 2013-01-26 06:30:59 +0000 As an aside, I'd like the namespace axis to be allowed in XQuery 3.0. 82283 2 jonathan.robie 2013-01-29 17:40:21 +0000 The Working Group agrees to resolve this together with 20738: If the axis name is omitted from an axis step, the default axis is child, with two exceptions: if the axis step is an AttributeTest or SchemaAttributeTest then the default axis is attribute; if the axis step is a NamespaceNodeTest then a static error is raised [err:XQSTXXXX]. 82285 3 mike 2013-01-29 17:59:15 +0000 Minor correction, it's not the axis step that is a AttributeTest etc, it is the NodeTest (part of the axis step). 82353 4 jonathan.robie 2013-01-30 20:54:57 +0000 *** Bug 20738 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
