Description Matthias Brantner 2012-02-04 05:55:19 UTC 
In Sec. 14.9.3 fn:serialize, the example demonstrating the serializer options is wrong.

It is

<output:serialization-parameters>
  <output:omit-xml-declaration>yes</output:omit-xml-declaration>
</output:serialization-parameters>

but should be

<output:serialization-parameters
       xmlns:output="http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization">
  <output:omit-xml-declaration value="yes"/>
</output:serialization-parameters>

I have added a reference to this namespace both in this example and in the list of "standard namespaces" appearing near the start of the specification. Closing as editorial.

Just to make sure, the bug was not only about the namespace prefix. The serialization spec
requires a value to be given as attribute (with name value). The example contains the
value of the option in the content of the omit-xml-declaration.

Ah! - I missed that. Thanks. Now refixed.
