http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14999 Every namespace node must have different generate-id() value ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-12-02 19:21 ------- Known Divergence. Xalan is deliberately departing from the assertion that "every element have its own set of namespace nodes." The relevant namespaces can be accessed from the elements, but we do not guarantee that they are unique nodes that permit you to navigate back to the element. (As it happens, attempting to do so will take you to the element where this namespace binding was asserted.) Note that XPath 2.0/XSLT 2.0 is going to deprecate the whole concept of Namespace Nodes because everyone else has come the the same conclusion that this was a bad design in the 1.0 verson of the spec. Meanwhile, I have yet to hear of anyone other than a testcase author who has attempted to look at whether namespace nodes are unique, and darned few who have attempted to look at the namespace axis at all. I agree that the correct fix, from Xalan's point of view, is to repair this testcase and then exclude it as a known limitation.
