Hello all,

Any particular reason behind this observed behaviour? (Basex 8.3).

 

……………………………………………………..

[1]

……………………………………………………..

declare variable $test :=

<test xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/common" xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani">

  <ce:initials>M.S.</ce:initials>

</test>;

 

db:create('test', $test, 'blah', map {'stripns':true()})

 

……………………………………………………..

……………………………………………………..

 

db:open('test')/*

……………………………………………………..

 

<test xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/ani" xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ani/common">

  <ce:initials>M.S.</ce:initials>

</test>

 

 

 

I would have expected the namespaces to be shredded …

 

Cheers,

Constantine
