Description Michael Kay 2007-04-29 22:27:09 UTC
In 11.7, Creating Namespace Nodes, there is a Note that attempts to explain the interaction between explicitly-created namespace nodes and the namespace fixup process. This note fails to take into account that the rules for instructions that create elements and attributes have become more prescriptive about the choice of prefix, which is no longer left entirely to the namespace fixup process.

The sentence:

<old>
Namespace prefixes for element and attribute names are effectively established by the namespace fixup process described in 5.7.3 Namespace Fixup.
</old>

should read:

<new>
Namespace prefixes for element and attribute names are initially established by the rules of the instruction that creates the element or attribute node, and in the event of conflicts, they may be changed by the namespace fixup process described in 5.7.3 Namespace Fixup.
</new>
