On several locations in the spec we have links to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/. This href target is also present in the References and is supposed to go to the Namespaces for XML 1.0. When you click such link, it brings you NOT to the XML 1.0 Names specification, but to the Namespaces in XML 1.1 specification. This problem may be broader than XPath 3.1. For instance, the direct link to the 3rd edition of Namespaces in XML 1.0 is https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-xml-names-20091208/ (in 2009). If you click on "Latest version", you will be brought to https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names11-20060816/ (in 2006! And wrong XML version). For this specification this is relevant, because several production rules directly link to the production rules in XML Names (that is, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/). The way it is now written, QNames have production rules that must support XML 1.1 Namespaces and Names (i.e., the NCName, QName, URIQualifiedName). I think the link-forward rule should be fixed with W3C, alternatively we could link to the 2009 version directly. 129022 1 andrew_coleman 2017-12-19 16:54:38 +0000 It would appear that the W3C have already resolved this. https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ now links to: Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition) W3C Recommendation 8 December 2009
