Yes, there are other XML processors that can do this. Saxon, for example, you can pass it in programmatically, and I believe XSLT can. Xmlsh can. So its not unique to XQuery, but I believe its not possible in pure XPath.

For example, in XSLT I think this is possible, as well as in a Java processor that implements XPath. I don't think it's something unique to XQuery, is it? -Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com > [mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com] On Behalf Of > Florent Georges > Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 8:59 AM > To: General Mark Logic Developer Discussion > Subject: Re: [MarkLogic > DevGeneral]ProbleminsertingdefaultnamespaceincreatedXML > documentfixed, but validation fails > > "Lee, David" wrote: > > Hi David (I didn't pay attention who I was responding to ;-)) > > > The key I re-discovered here is Xquery lets you add that > extra glue to > > define a prefix outside of xpath, and outside of the document. > > Ah I see, yes the declare namespace statement is the key > you were after then.
