[xquery-talk] Xquery XHTML document

[Philip Vallone]

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your help. I don’t think I was confusing (a) or (b) but rather
trying to learn how to declare an unprefixed element which has a namespace.

Thanks for the link. I believe this is what I was looking for.

Regards,

Phil

You seem to be confusing (a) namespaces and prefixes, and (b) their
occurrences in input data and XQuery expressions.

But I think you're just looking for:

    declare default element namespace "http://example.org/names";

See: http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#id-default-namespace
