This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This test starts with the declaration: xquery version "1.0" encoding "ISO-8859"; It seems reasonable for a processor to reject this as an unknown encoding. We don't define a specific error code for this situation, but the specification does say that the handling of encodings is implementation-dependent.
I think that the purpose of this test is not to test the reaction to ISO-8859 (or is it ?) What would you think of changing the declaration to ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 ?
I think changing it to ISO-8859-1 would be reasonable. Processors aren't obliged to support this encoding but it's likely that most will.
I have made the change to Expressions/PrologExpr/VersionProlog/K-VersionProlog-5.xq as proposed, and updated the CVS.
