This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In 2 Basics, we read "It is a static error [err:XQST0070] if the namespace URI for an EQName is http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/." In errors we find "err:XPST0133 It is a static error [err:XPST0133] if the namespace URI for an EQName is http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/." XPST0133 appears not to be referenced in the text and is redundant. This is also an error in XP3.0/XQ3.0. See also test case qname-910.
At the meeting on 2016-07-19, the WG agreed to resolve this as suggested. Action A-650-07 raised to track this.
