Description Michael Kay 2016-09-05 10:30:10 UTC 
I believe the results of test namespace-0301 depend on the ordering of attribute nodes, which is implementation-dependent.

We effectively do

<foo>
  <xsl:for-each select="@*">
    <xsl:attribute name="local-name()" select="."/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</foo>

The input element contains several attributes with the same local name, and the result will contain the value from the last of these in processing order, which is unpredictable.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2016-10-19 19:06:38 UTC 
Fixed by sorting the attributes by namespace URI (the expected result happens to be unchanged).
