Description Michael Dyck 2011-10-04 05:04:50 UTC 
As mentioned in point (16) of Bug 10368 comment 0, the XQuery
spec is inconsistent on whether a module has a static context.

4.12 "Module Import" plainly says:
    "Each module has its own static context."

and yet 2.1.1 "Static Context" only talks about expressions having
a static context.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2011-10-04 07:51:15 UTC 
I think "Each module has its own static context." is shorthand for "Many aspects of the static context of an expression are properties of the module in which the expression appears."

Re the change of this bug's Component from "XQuery 3.0" to "XPath 3.0":
XPath 3.0 doesn't have modules, so it's not clear how the question is pertinent to XPath 3.0. Perhaps that should be explained.
Comment 3 Jonathan Robie 2012-06-07 22:06:08 UTC 
The WG decided the answer is "yes", and accepted this proposal:
