I can't immediately detect whether you rule out using the default namespace (I think you should, because you _can't_ declare it using the xmlns() XPointer scheme), but lets suppose you did or do rule it out, then the above should read: "This path designates global or local element declarations whose name is 'quantity' in no namespace" or words to that effect agreed that clarification was required 13 May 2005: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005Jun/0003 also agreed at that meeting that alignment with XPath was in order; however XPath 1.0 and XPath 2.0 have different answers. However, this may also relate to lc-5; see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2005Jun/0075 11969 1 holstege 2006-09-22 17:05:28 +0000 The WG reconsidered this in August 2006 based on the information that, in fact, XPath 2.0 differs from XPath 1.0 in this respect. Editor to clarify that, yes, default namespaces are premitted, and clean up examples where they are wrong; adding examples as necessary to make things clear. 23529 2 holstege 2009-02-06 17:40:48 +0000 Fixed in Last Call draft http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xmlschema-ref-20081117/
