Re: [basex-talk] Bug (?) with dynamic namespace constructor

Hi Hans-Jürgen,

basex "<foo>{namespace {''}{'bar'}}</foo>" => [XQDY0102] Duplicate namespace declaration: ''.

This is expected. The specification states that “[…] if the name of an element in an element constructor is in no namespace, creating a default namespace for that element using a computed namespace constructor is an error [err:XQDY0102]”

You’ll need to include a (static) namespace URI as part of the direct element constructor:

<foo xmlns='bar'/>

Best, Christian
