However, according to section 3.2.19 of XML Schema: Datatypes,[2] "The ·value space· of NOTATION is the set of QNames of notations declared in the current schema. The ·lexical space· of NOTATION is the set of all names of notations declared in the current schema (in the form of QNames)." This stands in contrast to the ENTITY datatype,[3] whose values have to have been declared as unparsed entities in a DTD. Have I missed something or is there really no need for this requirement that the processor not check the values of nodes of type xs:NOTATION? I would suggest striking item 3.e. Note that a similar bug (Bug 6952) has been filed against XSLT 2.0.

An identical change will be made to the XQuery 1.1 draft. 36770 2 zongaro 2010-07-12 13:51:53 +0000 Thanks!
