Description Michael Rys 2005-05-13 23:56:47 UTC 
We think that having QNames represented as xs:QName typed attributes will make 
processing of XQueryX documents using XQuery/XPath etc hard. It is better to 
split them into a namespace-uri/local-name pairing.
Comment 1 Jim Melton 2005-06-27 00:41:29 UTC 
The Query WG has considered your comment and agrees with it.  A new XQueryX
schema has been developed that defines such names as having type xqx:QName, not
xs:Qname. The xqx:QName type captures the NCName of the namespace prefix as well
as the NCName of the local name.  When a new edition of the XQueryX spec is
published, we hope that you will review it and, if, you find the changes
satisfactory, mark this comment as CLOSED. 

We appreciate your feedback on the XML Query specifications. Please let us know
if this response is satisfactory. If not, please respond to this message,
explaining your concerns.
