Note: There is no default namespace for pragmas. </quote> I think two things is attempted to be said here: * That the QName cannot contain an undeclared prefix, as for any other QName(Hence, XPST0081). * That the namespace URI cannot be "empty", just as for user functions. (Why is it otherwise stressed no default namespace exists?) I don't think the latter is clear. Neither, making the default namespace undefined, doesn't cover this case: declare namespace prefix = ""; (# prefix:notRecognized #) Proposed wording: After: "The QName of a pragma must resolve to a namespace URI and local name, using the statically known namespaces [err:XPST0081]." Add: "The namespace URI must be non-empty[ERROR CODE]. In effect, this means the QName must always have a prefix." I don't know about what error code to use, XPST0081 seems a bit out of place.(Allocate a XQST-code?) An other alternative is that I'm completely out of space, of course. Frans 9997 1 chamberl 2006-06-13 17:12:23 +0000 Frans, On June 13, 2006, the Query working group considered your comment and agreed to change the first Note in XQuery Section 3.14 (Extensions Expressions) from "There is no default namespace for pragmas" to "Since there is no default namespace for pragmas, a pragma QName must include a namespace prefix." We believe that the existing error code XPST0081 applies to this case. The working group believes that this change addresses your concern. Accordingly, I have marked this comment as Fixed and Closed. If you are not satisfied with this resolution, you may reopen the comment. Regards, Don Chamberlin (for the Query working group) 10025 2 frans.englich 2006-06-14 14:38:49 +0000 Yes, just fine. Thanks for having oversight for my misunderstanding of 'declare namespace'. Frans
