Body:
This is an accepted divergence of long standing.
As far as I know, there is *NO* implementation that fully complies on this point,
since doing so would be inherently inefficient and since almost nobody but a
conformance test actually cares.
The XPath Working Group itself has more-or-less conceded that their definition of the
namespace axis was a design mistake. XPath 2.0 is introducing non-node-based access to
namespaces, and is starting to phase out the namespace axis, which will make this a
moot point.
So the "fix" we prefer is to wait for XPath 2.0 to catch up with what the industry is
actually doing.
Recommended resolution: WONTFIX. (And, given the lack of real-world demand, I'd kick
the priority down a notch or two as well.)

Description:
This test case from the OASIS suite incorrectly reports a syntax error. This is
XSLTFunctions_GenereateIdAppliedToNamespaceNodesOnDifferentElements.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<!-- Purpose: Test case for bug 71216. Namespace nodes on different elements should
have different generate-ids. -->
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no"
