Hi Ash,

Thanks for the reproducible example code.

On my system, the root elements of both $snippet and $workaround have
the 'https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2Fxpath-functions&data=04%7C01%7Cas.clark%40northeastern.edu%7Cf1fb89b7dd5942b5de7608d8f0816087%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C0%7C637523785750125027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=NNiAnkp7ayjQ5QNUyXKl5rugWBSCjrwwGOKU2vlB8O8%3D&reserved=0' namespace (and
deep-equal($snippet, $workaround) yields true). Are you working with
the latest version of BaseX?

Cheers,
Christian
