Consider the following example: declare copy-namespaces preserve, inherit; copy $a := <a><b/></a> modify rename node $a as QName("foo", "a") return $a In this example, binding ""="foo" will be propagated to element <b/> as <b/> does not have a binding for prefix "". Note ""="" is not a binding in the namespaces property of <b/>. In this situation, it would be necessary to change the expanded QName of <b/> to have the new uri "foo" during propagation. One can imagine a slightly more complicated example where one rename expression results in many QNames changing during namespace propagation. 38349 1 jim.melton 2010-08-31 20:37:28 +0000 At its face-to-face meeting in July 2010, recorded in the meeting minutes archived at the member-only URI http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-query/2010Jul/0202.html, the XML Query WG made the following decision that will resolve this bug. It remains open until the owner of this bug records the precise text that will be used in the spec. DECISION: No longer propagate namespaces where the prefix is empty. E.g.: in xquery-update-10 section 3.2.2 upd:applyUpdates, clause 6 after "if $inherit-namespaces is true,... marked for namespace propagation," except for namespace bindings associated with the empty prefix 38572 2 jonathan.robie 2010-09-07 22:59:49 +0000 This was fixed with the following change in wording: If $inherit-namespaces is true, then upd:propagateNamespace</loc>($element,$prefix, $uri) is invoked for each namespace binding that was marked for namespace propagation, <add>except for namespace bindings associated with the empty prefix</add>, where $element is the element node on which the namespace binding appears, $prefix is the namespace prefix, and $uri is the namespace URI. Each of these nodes is then unmarked.
