Working within MarkLogic, I just got bitten by a server error caused by
lexically invalid @xml:id in the input data. Boiled down, this was the
offending query:
let $in := <input xml:id="-ptr"/>
return element out {
attribute id { $in/@xml:id }
}
MarkLogic complains: XDMP-LEXVAL: xs:ID("-ptr") -- Invalid lexical value "-ptr"
So it is obviously trying to cast '-ptr' as xs:ID and failing. But I
notice that Saxon doesn't throw an error in this case. Either processor
is happy if I wrap string() around $in/@xml:id.
I'm just wondering if this is an implementation-dependent matter, or
what the specs might say about such a case.
