Re: [basex-talk] Empty namespace declarations

Hi Johannes,

This was a known bug in the previous version, the new behavior is correct:

The elements in the user-defined function have no namespace, and by inserting them as child nodes, the namespace must not be changed.

Things work differently if the node constructors are defined within the curly braces. The namespace context of the ancestors will be applied to the constructed nodes:

<a xmlns='x'>{ <b/> }</a>

So you’ll either need to get rid of the additional function, or you can use the 'map' prefix. As it’s statically defined in BaseX, you can omit the xmlns:map declaration:

declare function local:list() { <string>1</string> }; map:map{ local:list() }</map:map>

Hope this helps, Christian
