[xquery-talk] namespace declarations in an element

[Ghislain Fourny]

Hi Leo,

The only XPath/XQuery standard I am aware of which provides namespace axes is XPath 1.0:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#axes

You can navigate to the corresponding nodes using path expressions.

If I am correct, they were then deprecated in subsequent versions of XPath, and XQuery does not support them either. However, I can imagine that an implementation may provide its own functions for querying the namespace bindings.

I hope this helps?

Kind regards,
Ghislain
