Description Michael Kay 2015-02-03 17:53:47 UTC 
Section 18.5 states

"To construct an instance of a user-defined type that is not in a namespace, it is necessary to use a cast expression or undeclare the default function namespace."

(a) it should mention that this is not necessarily possible in all host languages, and that the examples given assume XQuery.

(b) the statement is no longer true, since the required effect can be achieved using an EQName.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2015-02-10 16:51:51 UTC 
The WG accepted the change, which has been applied.
