Note that one has a trailing '/' in the namespace whilst the other does not. I also note that XPath 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1, and XQuery 1.0, and 3.1 are all consistent with XQuery 3.0 in not having a trailing '/'. Which one is correct I wonder? I note that Saxon uses http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors, however eXist is using http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors/ 126351 1 josh.spiegel 2016-05-05 15:06:56 +0000 XQuery and FNO appear to consistently use "http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors". I don't think the namespace document is considered a normative reference. 126353 2 adam 2016-05-05 16:45:33 +0000 (In reply to Josh Spiegel from comment #1) > XQuery and FNO appear to consistently use > "http://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors". I don't think the namespace document > is considered a normative reference. I don't see either a formal normative or non-normative reference to that document in the XQuery 3.0 spec... perhaps there should be one, which would make whether it is normative or non-normative explicit. IMHO the specs should at least be consistent in the naming of the namespace regardless though. 126355 3 josh.spiegel 2016-05-05 17:37:18 +0000 The namespace document should be fixed but I don't think there can be a normative reference to it. "Only W3C Recommendations should be referenced normatively. If a W3C document is not a "W3C Recommendation", do not reference it normatively." https://www.w3.org/2013/02/stdref 126410 4 mike 2016-05-10 17:02:34 +0000 The place to fix this appears to be line 9 (plus possibly line 8) in qtspecs/specifications/xpath-functions-31/src/ns-errors.xml 8: <!ENTITY doc.publoc "http://www.w3.org/2005/&doc.nsname;/"> 9: <!ENTITY nsname "http://www.w3.org/2005/&doc.nsname;/"> Both should probably have the trailing slash removed; but since these are actual HTTP resources we will also need to get a redirect from the wrong URL to the correct one. 126934 5 andrew_coleman 2016-07-08 13:13:51 +0000 This was resolved with the following action item: ACTION A-643-05: Andy to investigate how to solve Q2.3.2 Bug 29610 - Differing namespace definitions for xqt-errors. The fix was applied to ns-errors.xml in F&O 127106 6 adam 2016-08-07 23:08:24 +0000 @andy This document - https://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors/ still states: `https://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors/`. So is it now that we have two namespaces for the same thing, i.e. `https://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors` used from F+O and `https://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors/` used in the "XQuery and XPath Functions and Operators Error Codes Namespace Document" document itself? I am still confused :-/ 127343 7 andrew_coleman 2016-09-08 19:21:57 +0000 Hi Adam - we haven't published the latest drafts yet. The fix to the namespace document can be viewed here: https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xpath-functions-31/html/ns-errors.html When we next publish (PR) this will replace the document at https://www.w3.org/2005/xqt-errors/ Hope that makes sense.
