Should it be ? 6533 1 chamberl 2005-09-28 14:11:26 +0000 Pierrick, Thank you for this comment. On Sept. 28, 2005, the Query Working Group decided that it is an error for a module declaration to specify a target namespace using an empty URILiteral. A new static error will be defined for this condition in the next edition of the XQuery specification. I have marked this issue as "Fixed." If you agree with this resolution, please mark the issue as "Closed." Regards, Don Chamberlin (for the Query Working Group) 6545 2 pierrick.brihaye 2005-09-28 14:33:34 +0000 An alternative would be to have the opportunity to declare modules in the "default" namespace by not specifying any binding. However, it would have too many side effects on the current XQuery grammar, I'm afraid :-) I'm so closing this bug. Thank you for your quick answer. p.b.
