Description Michael Kay 2013-12-10 14:49:00 UTC 
The document found at

http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/collation/codepoint/

describes itself as a "namespace document", and speaks of the URI as "this namespace". However, the URI is not a namespace URI, it is a collation URI. Although it seems a reasonable extension of the W3C namespace policy for collation URIs to resolve to some resource, that resource should not be a namespace document, because the object identified by the URI is not a namespace.

Resolved, Jim Melton took an action to fix this (it can be changed in situ without formality).
