RE: [xml-dev] "The QName URN Namespace" (draft-rsalz-qname-urn-01)
For info, the XPath 2.1 and XQuery 1.1 drafts (which should be published
very soon) allow the syntax
"uri":local
wherever a QName is currently allowed, primarily for convenience when
generating context-free paths that can be used to identify a node within a
document, and any other application where one wants to write XPath in a way
that is not sensitive to the namespace context.
This is of course addressing a different, but related requirement.
(It wasn't possible to use Clark notation {uri}local because of grammar
ambiguities in XQuery).
